A (mostly old) discussion about it on stackoverflow:

- ryanwhitney 12y agoStrange. Seems like anything other than built-in apps should be anonymized in what's returned here. Is there a reason it isn't? Just something that's not allowed but slips through the review process?
- moj 12y agoIt's a lower-level c-api, so perhaps it's slightly harder to scan for in the submitted binaries? Its overdue blocking/nerfing, and you can start the countdown for that now. (As others have noted). Hopefully it will be anonymized but not completely nixed; it provides legitimate debugging info.
