>> Our colleagues from GakuNin have developed a fork that allows users to
>> decide whether or not they want to release optional attributes.
>>
>> More infos on their work on this TNC poster:

>> situations, more helpdesk tickets and confused users because an
>> application could react differently depending on what attributes a user
>> decided to release. But maybe this fear is in vain.
