This isn't going to happen if I have anything to say about it. (I may not have all that much to say about it! :-) As far as I can see that would be tantamount to giving legal advice, even if hedged with IANAL TINLA. And it would almost certainly be wrong for many sites. At the very least I would oppose it without opinion of two real lawyers (one from the US where we have some money that could be taken from us and most of our devs live for the TINLA issue, and one from the EU for GDPR interpretation), which I don't think we can afford. [There used to be 60-some lines of suggestion here, which just reinforces my estimate that we cannot afford enough real legal advice to make such a boilerplate disclaimer safe for publication in the distribution.] Counterproposal: we make a wiki page that people can update, with suggested text *and citations to "authorities"* (or real authorities, where possible) explaining the use cases and limitations of those EULA clauses.
