Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I disagree that there are no substantive privacy gains. It eliminates
 needless connections to centralized third parties for a large number of
 websites. A recent blog post[1] by Mike Perry recommends against using
 "large-scale CDNs" because it can be used to enhance other attacks[2].
