FreeBSD will be the party honoring it, not Google, even for
non-conforming implementations of the DNT header.

The full patch will be released shortly but it will look something like:
if (window.navigator.doNotTrack !== "yes") {
( function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script');
ga.type = 'text/javascript';
ga.async = true;
ga.src = 'https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
}
