The MDN support table does not differentiate in this regard. (le: it actually does if you click to see the implementation notes)

I used to live in Romania where hospitals are full of deadly bacteria, doctors are corrupt, nurses are corrupt. There's a shortage of equipment, vaccines, cancer treatment, important medicine, you name it. There is no place in the country to treat a seriously burned man, they all die. Obviously, lifespan here is shorter than in the US by about 4-5 years.

AS per the GDPR I see no possible solution for the “reasonable measure to verify the identity of a data subject” against an IPv4 IP and thus to reliably act on IPv4 related data subject access/deletion requests.
Also per the GDPR, providing data to the wrong person could “affect the rights and freedoms of others” in which case you shouldn’t provide the data.

You do not need consent for saving the IP, user agent and URL (including GET values) in Apache logs because, as someone said above, you have a "legitimate interest to combat fraud and maintain information security".
Legitimate interest and consent are only 2 of the 6 legal bases under which you can collect and store (process) personal data. Art. 6 contains all 6 https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/ .

Their support suggested I post on their UserVoice ( http://do.co/uservoice ) which I did and sent them the links. They've then passed the links "along to our control panel team so that they are aware".
I work in a similar software company and I know how much time it takes from an idea coming through to support > product managers > UI > implementation > QA > rolling out to production so I just built the extension myself.

There's also a huge difference in what each update adds when compared to 8.1 . Where 8.1 tries to fix all the initial issues with W8 (missing start button anyone?), Maverick adds serious new features (1+ hour of battery, compressed RAM).
The free iWork suite is a direct attack to MSFT Office. Giving it away for free will pay long term in decreasing market share for Office. Office H&O is $220. Buy a Mac/iPhone/iPad and you get that for free.
