It would still only be able to be viewed by staff, except now servers can add more to their security with ip checks and so forth.
Stefan has previously stated that he does not want people getting IPs with requestHTTP/URL.

If you feel that it is bad for people to have extra account protection, you are free to talk to Stefan and get him to stop me.
Way to disregard what I have said:
