I am neither an engineer, nor a WMF staffer, but I want to throw a flag
here anyway.

Yes, it will cause an issue.  If that extra data is going in every reply,
multiply its size by our replies per day count, won't you?  I don't know 
what that number is, but I'm quite certain it's substantial. 

*Every single byte* that goes in a place where it will be included in every 
reply directly affects our 95%ile data transfer, I should think, and thus
our budget.  Bytes are not always free.

Cheers,
