Why is it important writing down user IPs in database?

Its because when we want to calculate unique views then we gonna need this.

though there is no use of unique view at the moment, but t will be useful when we introduce “trending” and “hot” topics.

Is it possible to anonymize this data? In my case I don´t need “trendig” or “hot”. And generally I don´t write down IPs. Is it possible to opt-out like Piwik does? http://piwik.org/docs/privacy/#step-1-automatically-anonymize-visitor-ips

Will add an option for that.
