[ckan-dev] Privacy of user activity in CKAN 2.0

My assumption as a naive user is that every edit goes in the activity
stream, but that I am only ever shown activity relating to datasets
I'm authorised to see (either because they're public, or because I'm
in the relevant Organization). If a dataset is made public then so is
its history. After all the history is really just more metadata.

Partly this is my assumption because it is how other familiar things
work (Facebook say), but partly also because it seems like obviously
the 'right thing'. It would be interesting to see what others think.
