Manuel added a comment.
If I understand IP masking correctly, the goal is to get rid of IPs as public identifiers. Instead we will use cookie-based "temporary accounts" as public identifiers. These are independent of the IP. I have two questions about this: 1. This seems feasible for browser-based editing. But what about API-based editing? Can non-logged-in users currently edit using our APIs? (I hope not, as it does not sound like a good idea. xD) How will/should this work in the future? 2. For Wikidata Analytics I got the impression that we will still store IPs internally, so nothing should change from an analytics perspective. Is that correct?
