I appreciate the idea, but security-wise it's pretty dangerous - given that |
| 21 |
you as a Gentoo dev are doing sensitive work that may affect many people on a |
| 22 |
machine not controlled by you yourself nor Gentoo Infra. |

Call me paranoid, but please no. And in absolutely no case one should commit |
| 25 |
to the tree from such a machine, even with stuff like agent forwarding. |
