I'm with the bug author on this: "do not track" should mean do not track. And it explicitly mentions analytics on the DNT site.
Do Not Track is a technology and policy proposal that enables users to opt out of tracking by websites they do not visit, including analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms
However, Wikipedia says that the exact definition of what constitutes tracking is not yet clear.
The Do Not Track (DNT) header is the proposed HTTP header field DNT that requests that a web application disable either its tracking or cross-site user tracking (the ambiguity remains unresolved) of an individual user.
