I agree, obfuscation is perhaps not the formal approach we should take to
such offerings. Asking users to encrypt to protect privacy is also onerous
on users and may interfere with the management of networks where DPI
'could' be an appropriate and justifiable use.

I would also offer that privacy considerations 'should' be designed into
the operation of systems such as we are discussing.

But as privacy is a social construct and therefore subjective it's a tad
challenging for a technical community. That does not mean we should not
engage in this area though.
