Yeah. As someone else pointed out, people expect it, and are actually
insulted when told they have to pay extra for it.

No, that's fair enough. I'd guess you could make a go of it selling it as
an add-on, but honestly, I wouldn't resell it; I don't think it's the
right thing to do -- doing that just draws attention to the fact that the
current privacy situation is awful, which is counterproductive to
non-privacy-enhanced sales. If you could somehow swing it so that all
Tucows domains were privacy enhanced at no extra charge, I suspect you'd
have a land rush, though.
