Hey Marc (how's it going?)

Bugzilla 58196 became https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T60196

Thanks for calling that out, I didn't know some of the backstory.

Members of the Security team made the call on removal and I will let them
speak for themselves on rationale. At the moment, the task for this is
protected by policy  (due to the mentioned privacy concerns)
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150679 but I believe you are able to
access it to engage with questions.
