And that's what cost-benefit analysis is for. The answer could well be
yes, if the alternative to "many" is "almost no-one".

Considering that I'm in a very small, non-WiFi network behind a rather
paranoid firewall, trust me: if someone is eavesdropping my network,
Emacs is the lesser of my troubles.
