Yes, trust is one problem. I think we're being objective (at least we are trying, with building a scoring system that's automatic). But for sure, we are not being neutral. We do think that tracking should always be opt-in, not opt-out.
At least, we're working in total transparency and it's an open process. I hope that helps.
Re: neutrality, I'm delighted to see that your perspectives align with mine. Dubious legal terms deserve to be called out. And the transparency is nice, but... well, if I'm too lazy to read a 50-page legal document, I hope I don't have to sift through a 50-page mailing list thread just to establish confidence in the summary of the document itself. :)
