Ok, I've been out of the loop and not paying attention until yesterday, when I noticed the 'https://' when I was using Google search. So this ridiculous idea has gone live?

I remember reading something about some way Google was thinking about letting webmasters know when a visitor was coming from Google search, but without keyword data. I haven't been able to find any information on this now, so I guess it hasn't happened.

Is there a general consensus on the best way to deal with this, or have we all just decided to give up and accept that Google has gone evil?
