Lorenzo,

> So, are you saying that using temporary addresses does not leak the habits of employees?
> 
> I'm saying using temporary addresses makes a number of attacks, including cross-site tracking, more difficult, infeasible, or defeatable by the employee or IT admin. If you believe that to be false, you can always try to see if you can get consensus on a document that says that privacy addresses are not useful and declares RFC 4941 historic. :-)

Anything you can cite here?
Just because you state it does not make it fact.
After almost 20 years of temporary addressing, it seems there is very little data available.
cheers,
Ole
