Comment (by cohosh):

 Replying to [comment:21 anarcat]:
 > my current opinion (yes, it changes! :)) is that we should not export
 metrics that are sensitive in the first place. this would alleviate the
 need for stronger (but also more complex) authentication systems on the
 monitoring servers which could then stay in the "semi-public" mode they
 have always been.

 drop that second part and stick with external/internal as a distinction.
 how does that sound? if we clear the exporters so that the stuff they
 generate is safe (a good idea anyways, given they lack authentication
 themselves, other than IP-level blocking), it seems that the
 private/public distinction isn't necessary anymore...
 This sounds good to me!
