I disagree. Like I said earlier :

Web server logs were not tied to user credentials in any way, they were used for debugging purposes and could not have been used to identify users.

From your faq: "We maintain zero logs of your activities. We don't track IP addresses, …"

Front page says "zero logs"

Some logs, including specifically datapoints you have promised not to log, but you mean well (?) is pretty different from zero logs

Fwiw, zero logs in that context is usually in the relation to requests through the VPN, whereas this discussion is about requests on their homepage? Or did I misunderstand something here?
You disagree and yet you agreed 100% and made the change. I thought the point the preceding parent comment is making is that you should have thought of that beforehand. Yet you seemed to already come to a judgement about it yet then quickly agreed to reverse yourself.

Sounds like a clear "lack of a depth of understanding" to me.

I have a static IP address; and most connections tend to have long-lived leases anyways. It can easily be used to identify me, even if you don't explicitly tie it to my account.
