Does it really do that? Where is it documented? On my machine, it seems to consistently send "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1= ; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0". In any case, I don't think this point is relevant to the package.el part = of this discussion. It's trivial for GNU ELPA and GNU MELPA to track thei= r users: they can just serve arbitrary code that Emacs will blindly run. = Thus, if you don't trust them enough to send them your version of Emacs, = then you probably shouldn't be talking to them in the first place. --0NpJpe35bwXmTEBvxqshFFXfjCqxnRAHP-- --ICIeVRwHQDVeXD37SMV48RTOB67D511Q2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJXAoDZAAoJEPqg+cTm90wjogAP/AmnSvrjlozk6VeWCfYi2QJ8 khTT0cRkUzdP+3SyQGlRj8eJeg/KbfGsWOvtugZ4kz+4yvi2bG5rmRsqlbWnnkoa n7S0mSxbZ1O8B+yUqYD85L08GxLqeQzxf2JHpKE3Vq4VTxsa4NuEQJ7wrAVrxsxj UkuEJbxUPJP7cAafKZL1SuoozzXh1uO3+vf5iZN8Cpea/BrIYA70CBF6QSd7S23C uxN1TzaF1dYrQfkmGyes2KmK1kT2eZQ140E+2buGWCTKCzDZz7k4t+8kF8vJKyo8 Wfiw9IOCNX2kdhwyYzp6I4pJLfzUjFxS0PAId2b+qopdSzf+l17Np30Cs7DQeluq Hg5e6u8APIA6I45zQYlsmcOc6IrvYT/uhcqq6qF5JMOCvu8ocQ6DJ1jdm9eVQRL6 XccpkO28lZuHStHt5bSX5zgtNwogzJRZg88lTg7Wvw18qX2lUHeBXVzWS70P2Tp7 DjQDdCWf4adFBY6jRDuLSDjgGxKqOtLFAjhq2CCSiRlfdjZX7/uR3SLi8OovLl6J qyGon9QlpF9KOh0/ys/aonbqKJc4BQcPagXuw7yE8zzJ8Ua+kreORYaEgWOKeR5c wL3JNh7QlVsOS3eIP6dG2KKpn/zxSwfUZA8pFLS0k91vMtfusI9XJ2I4ddQMT8tY fiUAgKIsYlWFdxMf4noL =iViQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ICIeVRwHQDVeXD37SMV48RTOB67D511Q2--
