Comment (by karsten):

 So, first result from looking at the logs is that there are still requests
 coming in with the "fingerprint" parameter. We can't say how many, just
 that there's at least 1 per hour. Hmm, this makes this decision a bit
 harder, because we cannot just say it was unused anyway. However, I'd
 still want to take out that parameter and simplify the underlying code.

 How about we wait for feedback from the announcement to take it out in
 about a month, and if nobody shows up with a valid use case that we still
 want to support (and that we did not think of yet), we stick to the plan
 and remove it?
