I would suggest to try to limit the discussion of this ticket to my specific 
feature request. The heat map is a newly added feature that is kind of a 
gadget: It doesn't directly benefit the OSM project. But it does have privacy 
issues as it shows editing patterns of users at a glance. Users have stated 
that they don't want to have it on their profile page without their consent. So 
I think we should make it optional.

Don't get me wrong: I do think it is important to also discuss other privacy 
related aspects like what information should be visible to logged-in users 
only, if publishing data to a public database includes consent to aggregate 
that data to create user profiles out of it and if the OSMF violates its own 
privacy policy. But maybe these should be better discussed in the community 
forum.
