Well, one problem here is that we may not actually be aware of all
the
places where personally-identifying information could be gathered. We
can't realistically audit every package in the Fedora collection to find
out, either.
We might need to treat privacy policy as equivalent to our license
policy and
require each package maintainer to provide a privacy policy for
that package. (This of course is a painful effort and will likely irritate
our maintainers.)
Not only painful, but error prone and it doesn't scale from an end user
point of view. Now you have 16,000+ privacy policies that need to be
created, audited, read by a user... it simply isn't feasible.
Alternately, we provide a privacy policy like Facebook, where
"all data
are belong to us". That of course would be in poor taste and
rub many of
our users the wrong way.
Kinda.
A middle-ground might be to state that the policy applies only to
those
packages in the default install of the Editions, which would likely be a
manageable set of content to work through.
This isn't manageable either. It still suffers from the scale issues,
both on creation/curation and end-user review. We don't need to take one
problem and turn it into 200 or 2000.
A real middle ground is something similar to what we already have. That
might not be fully complete or clear enough as zbyszek makes some decent
points, but it is likely the best course of action here.
