Comment(by nickm):

 I don't disagree with this change, but I note that AV software does
 ostensibly serve a purpose, and that while this change will make some
 users not get traced when they download stuff, it could make those users
 get trojaned more easily when they do download software-like things and
 run them.  Is there anything we can do to ameliorate that?
