EXPOSED MAC ADDRESS ON ALL INTERFACES (controversial development in TAILS)

LET ME HELP YOU TO REMEMBER!
I HAVE OPENED A TICKET RELATING TO SPOOFING WHICH WAS CENSORED! NOW I OPEN ANOTHER AND I REQUEST TO PUSH A SECURITY UPDATE URGENTLY WITH THE FIX NOT ONLY ON WLAN0 BUT ON ETH0 ALSO!

Do NOT try to explain why exposing the half of the permanent MAC address and the original manufacturer is good… because that is obviously bullshit!
In fact controversial!
Let me help all of you to remember:
<code class="text">
Tails is a live DVD or live USB that aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity.
It helps you to:
use the Internet anonymously almost anywhere you go and on any computer: all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network;
leave no trace on the computer you're using unless you ask it explicitly;
use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, email and instant messaging.

There is NO EXCUSE for exposing the half of the permanent MAC address and the real manufacturer! Nothing can justify such thing in TAILS!
