Hello,
I support Gert here, network operators (LIRs) can have valid reasons to
make some their measurements non-public. So I don't support removal of
this feature. It's a bad idea...
If some probe host has problem with that, why don't mark such probes as
not-available for private measurements (this can be implemented easily)?
And I think there will be only minority of probes marked like that.
Majority of hosts will not care at all...
And keep in mind that Atlas is funded by LIRs and their money. All the
big-data infrastructure (and also making of hardware probes) costs real
(and not small) money. Existence of rivate measurements might be one
reason, why LIRs allow spending money for this useful project. Probe
hosting is only small piece in expenses within this project...

This.
Operators (like me) are willing to host Atlas anchors and probes, and
thus contribute to the system.
I might be troubleshooting something in our network where I have no
interest in making the results public. So I value the option to have
non-public measurements.
There's no "right to see all measurements" here - if someone wants to
see something, they are free to run their own measurements with their
own credits. What I do with my credits (which do not come for free)
and who can see the results should be my decision.
