That's really not much different in terms of privacy than what is being suggested in this bug. The image will have to look at a URI like this for knowing if it's out of date or not:

   http://people.canonical.com/~soren/ec2-version-query/current/eu-west-1/i386/hardy/ami

Then whoever is maintaining the service will see that *someone* has a hardy-i386 machine. I don't really think that the fact that disclosing that this someone is running version A or B of the given image is that much different.

I'm just trying to move the discussion into something constructive, Soren. Sometimes it's hard to word things in a way that pleases everyone.
