Hi Evan,
I actually "listened" to your chat on IRC last night, and I certainly
have a greater appreciation for the difficulty of this issue. In fact,
one thing that occurred to me during your discussion last night and was
a good example of just how messy this can be. My users rely on the RSS
feed to get updates; however, if notices are private and you haven't got
a password system for seeing the feed, how does a person get access to
notices for which they have rights? You're right - this is a concept and
implementation minefield. :-)
I am pleased to see such a rapid reaction to this issue, even if
progress on it will be slow-rolling. Meantime, I am thinking about other
web-server based solutions for my users (e.g. blocking spiders from
crawling the site and putting results in search engines, etc.).
Regards,
Steve

It's not about you; the whole thing just scares the crap out of me.
Since I see that a lot of things are migrating to plugins for the
future, perhaps then I'll try to write a privacy plugin for my site
and use it locally. I hate maintaining private patches to core code,
so a plugin might negate the need to do that. Don't know if the
plugin interface will let you do such things, but I can learn.
Sure, that sounds good. Craig, br3nda and I talked about this in the
channel tonight; had some good ideas. I might want to get some other
core devs' opinions on it.
Upshot: I think we might be moving forward on this... slooooowly.
