Hi,
In may docs, I can see stuff like this, especially in README.rst:
.. image:: http://governance.openstack.org/badges/something.svg :target: http://governance.openstack.org/reference/tags/index.html
I'd like to let everyone know that, from a package maintainer perspective, and considering that we do package your Sphinx doc in distros, this is an annoyance. Indeed, I do feel like I must patch it out and remove the external source.
The reason is, as a Debian user, I do not expect my browser to do external queries to a website when I'm browsing a local documentation. This one is on openstack.org, it's mildly ok-ish, though, I'm removing the image still. There's other more annoying stuff (think: travis, github, and other spies which we don't control).
So, it'd be nice if these images with external resources were completely avoided in OpenStack docs. Either by simply not putting such useless image, replacing it by text only, or by embedding the image itself in the doc (or in openstackdocstheme? I suspect that's not what people want, they want it to be displayed in github... so embedding would be the only solution). am we could do this but they do not exist to spy on people.
