Hello list,

For Tannnin
I don't like very much the idea of adding another
class level on Wikipedia. I think it is a slow
constitution of a very rigid hierarchy, where more and
more people forget being a sysop imply more duties
than rights. And it would make very obvious that
non-loggued in people are not trusted.

For Daniel
What do you mean by a trackable cookie ? Another
spying intention on people ? Invasion privacy ?
Tracking exactly what ?

Yours

Athypique
