You are solving a problem that doesn't exist and
creating more serious ones.
There really is no "right to privacy" as it extends to editing Wikipedia,
and that the WMF has manufactured one is more a source of trouble then
benefit.
1) I just wanted to discuss this from a technical point of view, I am
not saying that *we must* implement this.
2) Actually this discussion started from another user on en.wiki and
not from the Wikimedia Foundation, which IMHO did well in considering
the problem and saying "we have looked into this but found no
satisfactory solution so far".
