Atmosphere does this since its very early versions...
I personally don't care because I don't use (Wicket-)Atmosphere. There are
several technical things I don't like in Atmo.

Last time I tried to upgrade Wicket-Atmo from 2.1.8 to 2.2.x it stopped
working for some reason. And I didn't have time to debug it. So it stays at
2.1.8.
I'm sure Emond will upgrade it to the version with the setting to suppress
"phone home" without any sweat :-)
