If the binaries are built from the released source code I don’t think we should restrict what the binaries do. The question is whether the community is aware of what the code is doing, and considers it to be in the best interests of the project.
The answer seems to be yes, and yes. I saw that the issue was discussed on dev@ignite[1], and had a corresponding JIRA case[2], and no objections were raised. If anyone has problems with that behavior (including security bugs) they should raise it with Ignite's PMC.
