Please not.

Why?  Not because they ain't secure (I do believe that they are quite a good 
idea from a security pov), but because of the way these tokens start to 
accumulate - and because of the work put on the DAM (or a new role as DAM 
helper): with 1000 developers, I'd say that a new token would have to be 
sent out about once per week because somebody has lost his token etc.
