Well, it *is* a pretty good reason. If you store any logs and are a
high-profile source of public information and those logs can in any
way be linked back to a specific user, then you must assume that
sooner or later someone may take you to court to get access to those
logs.
And then the way to stop this is to abstract the logs for the traffic
we want, and throw the raw logs away as quickly as possible.
Something of the the level of data that google trends can provide to
the public is basically the type of thing we'd want to have (broad
numbers on the only most popular search terms/pages).
