Yes, it will cause an issue. If that extra data is going in every reply, multiply its size by our replies per day count, won't you? I don't know what that number is, but I'm quite certain it's substantial.
*Every single byte* that goes in a place where it will be included in every reply directly affects our 95%ile data transfer, I should think, and thus our budget. Bytes are not always free.
True, but if it's legally required it's not like we have an option.
