This isn't any different from the non-FASS world, but it is a good reminder that you still need someone doing regular maintenance.
"If so, this change amounts to not protecting user privacy as much as insisting that only the NYT can monetize their users' privacy."
The cookie is now hidden from the MITM. Before, not only could they see what pages you see, but they could login as you.
In addition, Google Public DNS engineers have proposed a technical solution called EDNS Client Subnet. This proposal allows resolvers to pass in part of the client's IP address (the first 24/64 bits or less for IPv4/IPv6 respectively) as the source IP in the DNS message, so that name servers can return optimized results based on the user's location rather than that of the resolver. To date, we have deployed an implementation of the proposal for many large CDNs (including Akamai) and Google properties. The majority of geo-sensitive domain names are already covered.
So just look for the merge commit on the master branch that brought it in.
By having 300 separate commits (which you were doing anyway) it helps us know what your thought process was on the day that a given line changed. Maybe you were refactoring function X to do Y. If you don't mention that you were accounting for changes happening in someone else's branch, then we know we have to look closer at that code. Without the individual commit, all we know is that giant-project-x was accomplished with this commit, and the change to that line may or may not have the necessary update.
