The problem with that approach is the suspicion that when they make 
changes they are retrospective; for example I think they just made it no 
longer possible to exclude your name from public search, when formerly 
you could at least retain some privacy by not allowing 'everyone' to 
find your profile simply from your name.

Security by obscurity, perhaps, but a great deal of what Facebook offers 
is "privacy by obscurity".
