The cloak is vital for karma. It is also important for privacy, as otherwise the user host name is exposed. Whilst user hostnames are exposed to web servers etc, it is not normally exposed to other web users. AIUI, without the cloak, anyone on IRC can see your hostname. I think members have the right to be told this. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
