M-Lab is using a colloquial sense of "anonymize" that means "de-identify" which differs from the technical definition of anonymization from https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6973#section-6.1.1 which depends on non-uniqueness (multiple events). This difference is confusing to some audiences, and may imply more than what this package actually does.
