[sldev] UI streamlining strategy

[Tigro Spottystripes]

I already don't like that they keep chatlogs on the servers without us
having a choice (besides not using SL at all or using external means to
chat), I'm not 100% sure I could trust them to not include more than one
would expect once this permission is given, though perhaps if a big
enough amount of the respected open source community revised all the
code involved in gathering the data on the client side and approved it
perhaps I might consider providing consent for them to track my mouse,
clicks, button presses and a few other things
