Legal, as far as I know, favored the tiny amount of security through obscurity.
I think that's a bit of a misrepresentation of our position, but I don't really have time to respond in depth right now.
After reading through the thread, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and say simply that there was a misunderstanding here. There are a lot of deeply problematic issues with wikimetrics, but the idea that we'd try to stop this "feature" is nuts - pretending that it solves anything would be a distraction from the actual, more serious problems that legal has identified. There are enough things to blame us for already; please don't add more we're not responsible for. :)
Thanks- Luis
