I agree completely.
I said, "one more account to compromise" to highlight the fact that an
elevated risk is not necessary connected to a lack of trustworthiness in
the person. Why have 2,000 possible upload keys when only 1,000 people
intend to ever use theirs -- even if we can trust the people who we have
accepted to not abuse their privilege?
