Comment (by MattyRob):

 Pending action in the core code that may or may not happen I've created
 some code after many hours of messing about logging and blocking all
 requests and come up with a few functions that reduce the leaking of data.
 Apologies it's not well documented in what it is doing at the moment and
 there may be more in there than you need (like blocking auto-updates) but
 if you are concerned already you are free to use my code:
