Good catch. Yes, that will block EventLogging requests.

I don't think there's much to do about it. We could play cat-and-mouse by
changing the URL of the logging endpoint, but I don't think that that would
be ethical. I don't even think it's a bad thing for this rule to exist, to
be honest.

The % of users this affects is probably miniscule, since EasyPrivacy is not
a default subscription, AFAIK.
