That page is still linked to if you’re using Julia master, so I’ve left it as-is. It is no longer linked to from Julia 1.5 or anywhere else since the release does not use UUIDs or send any other data that can be used to track or profile users. There is a notice on the Julia downloads page about pkg servers seeing IP address (like all servers). That page will be updated or deleted whenever master changes.
