However I would prefer more transparency regarding the information sent from my site. i.e. In the admin control panel, there should be a "window" with the exact information going out, plus when it last went out. At the same time, it shouldn't require a plugin to disable this privacy choice. It should be a function/feature built in to the c/panel, so you can choose specifically what goes in our out.

Wordpress has said that the data is going to be used for statistics purposes and whatnot and frankly, I don't mind either. The thing I don't understand is why this wasn't announced before the release and if so, why a tool was not included with Wordpress itself to disable it. It shouldn't be up to Plugin developers to pick up the pieces and do something the Wordpress devs should have done themselves in the first place. Hi Rob,

Really. Please help yourself. They are taking just a little weight from my shoulders and helping me make sure my blog software is current. I think the uproar is a tempest in a teapot. Much ado about nothing. Just my 2 cents worth. I might be wrong....but I don't think so. Frankly, api.wordpress.org is welcome to all my version information. Really. Please help yourself.
