Similarly, for a successful app, competitors could use _all_dbs to get potentially very important info about how many users you have, growth rate, etc. > So, instead of trying to deal with this _all_dbs request issue via "_all_dbs should list only the DBs accessible to the user" (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-661), why not just limit the response to only server admins? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
