At this point, I'd go further and say /specifically/ if it has no practical
consequences.
To the point:
A 'policy' does not mean much if it does not affect behaviors. If instead it is
to affect behaviors, then those behaviors need to be specified.
The IETF has people who act as its agents. Some of those agents have access to
information that can be considered sensitive.
We should stop talking about this topic as if we were lawyers and start talking
as if we cared about how agents of the IETF handle sensitive information. That
is what I understand the practical purpose of a privacy policy to be.
