The privacy of their users is severely degraded when they run a HTTP server with logging as they will also record IP addresses which is definitely sensitive personal data.

Wait wut? You do know webservers do logging by default (which also includes the logging of IP addresses), right?

@DanSchaper

There's a reason it's a no. @sjhgvr sending your minions to game the vote isn't going to change my mind.

Then listen to your fellow devs

I'll emphasise this more for those that skimmed over my comment.

@PromoFaux

Brigading a post from a site external to this is not on. Don't do that please. It's petty. There is no need to throw your toys of the pram every time someone disagrees with you, it's incredibly unbecoming and just makes people that already don't like working with you want to work with you less. (This is not a point for discussion)

Now, let's keep this thread on the topic of the original post. Any more off topic comments will be removed.

I do, quite often.

I think you're under the mistaken belief that I'm some sort of dictator with Pi-hole. This is a team, every developer has an equal say in to what happens. I have never overridden Promo or DL and rejected something they wanted. In this particular PR there was discussion between us and the PR was closed as it was no longer supported by DL. I noted that in the closing message. If my fellow developers want this feature and it is feasible then it will go in, that's the process that has worked for the last 4 years.

You can denigrate me, that's fine, but that belittles the contributions of the team and the project as a whole.

I'm going to close this thread temporarily to let the dust settle, Currently everything that can be said for/against has been said.

I'll reopen it at some point in the future when it is time to revisit.
