Now stop messages that are useless. If this does not suit you, you are free to change to another skin.
Caretaker addon is not a requirement for your skin to work, it is a monitoring script which violates privacy, therefore it is spyware. Let me respond to your "Yes I am !" comment. You are not a official Kodi Team Member and it is not your responsibility to Police any Kodi installation.
If I follow your reasoning, a lot of addons are spyware then. I take as an example 'Next Aired' addon, it's checking your database to show info for next episode you have in your library. Another exemple, Information providers addons, they scann your folders to find media files.
Caretaker addon just check your addons folder and my skin return a warning popup if banned addons (in a list) are found. It does not store any info.
You are missing the point here and the point is Caretaker is actively monitoring what users are installing into Kodi and that my friend is spyware and invasion of privacy. You don't like people using questionable addons while using your skin then add to your post "I share my skin but if you are using questionable addons then please do not use my skin" and do not act as unofficial Policeman.
