[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Dangers of public whois

[Sam Lanfranco]

Short and quick, The car metaphor was a counter to the transitive data 
bread crumbs argument suggested for thinning thin data. It was an 
argument against deleting a data field on the grounds that it might 
assist a bread crumbs trail. It was not intended to suggest more. As for 
a malicious fleet of cars, they leave a lot of bread crumbs and many 
starting points.
