Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Structured logging/IP address and other personal identifying information/reply

This is definitely a point worth discussing. I happen to personally fall into the camp of persons who don't believe that IP addresses constitute private information, but I'm just one voice in the discussion. Having an IP address is useful for diagnosing some bugs but for most use cases I can think of an opaque token that corresponds to the IP (or even /24 block) would be just as useful. I think it would be nice to end up with a core standard that takes sharing log data with the community into consideration but my primary goal is to enable better log analysis for the operational wikis run by the Foundation.
