I absolutely want to address these concerns.

Let's start with making sure I understand the concerns so we can start
tracking the work requirements with bugs.

1. Google stuff, considered non-free. Can you list specifics? Fonts and
analytics js for starters, let me know if there are others?
2. Random CDN: maxcdn, which was provided to us by the Foundation's web
designer who gave us the design. We need CDN for performance reasons. What
CDN meets your requirements?
3. Non-minified JS, being worked on two bugs now. [1] [2]

Does that list capture your "ugly" claim in a measureable manner?

Could you list the calls in a bug please? That will help with triaging.

I'd like to understand your concerns further and specifically before taking
this type of action.

Of course not, and with this line of reasoning and lack of clarity and
specificity you are not representing actual privacy concerns but trying to
manipulate emotions. Please clarify your concerns so we can work on the
problems you have brought forward.
Thanks,

Anne
