Or is it the case that nobody bothered to file a blueprint? Bear in mind that *anybody* in the community can create blueprints for UDS, not just Canonical. The last time I looked at the list of blueprints that had been filed for UDS-R, I can't remember seeing one on privacy. It would have made an interesting subject for the community track and would have officially documented the issues, what can be done about them and how they will be addressed. Someone much smarter than I am said in a recent blog post something along the lines of "the best way to ensure a process doesn't ignore your needs is to engage with it". So the best way to get something done in Ubuntu is to engage with the development process, which means to engage with UDS where the development schedule for the next 6 months is worked out, which in turn means writing a blueprint for consideration at the next UDS. It's a couple of weeks late for UDS-R but what about creating a blueprint for UDS-S? Get the discussion going, gather examples of privacy issues and what could be done to address them. Then at the next UDS, we can work out solutions that satisfy Canonical, privacy conscious users and the rest of us and that can be implemented in time for 14.04 LTS. Disclaimer: I do *not* work for Canonical and only have limited experience of UDS as I only took part for the first time last week.
