If the only "trade-off" > is sending an ALREADY PUBLIC blog URL to wordpress.org, then great! notification functionality works fine without it. You don't need it for statistics purposes -- wp_hash('update-notification') 's output would be just as unique. How do users benefit by sending their blog URL? I think the onus is on us to show why it is necessary or beneficial.
