Yeah, this is a bug. ;(
We are fixing it now.

This makes sense.
I'd be ok with ircnick being public too I suppose. I don't feel
strongly about it though. ;)
I think we should clarify the email sentence tho.
It says:
"The only exception to this is for your email address, which may still
be visible in some Fedora services such as Bugzilla."
I think we should amend it to say:
"The only exception to this is for your email address, which will be
publicly available."
Possibly adding a 'Fedora is a open community and identifies it's
contributors by their email address, thus it's important to make this
information available' or something.
Also, should we note something about usernames?
We probably should also ask the Board (and
Community) if there are any other changes they want to make to the
privacy policy at the same time, since we have to make a big noise
every time we change it (even for a minor change like this).
Yeah. I wonder, should we consider badges?
Would your badge information be public or private?

At one point, there was a plan to extend FAS to show external
"affiliations", but I don't think it ever happened. Toshio would know
more, but he's off at PyCon atm.
yeah.
