If any user really wanted to get the access that AT/HT's get, and the
AT/HT was so to give them it, there would be different IP addresses from
the same auth 'similaneously'. ie. logs state, IP A, IPB IPA, IPb. this
would indicate a security violation and revocation of privilege for the
AT/HT. Accomplished Via script?
Personally, If I wanted a user to have access to the same tree I had, I
would say A) chill for 12hrs, B) sync to my local mirror, C) post
ebuild.tar for them.  I don't believe there is an issue with AT/HT's
disseminating access to users. However I understand the need to be
prepared in case it happens. 

25-55min delay may need to be acceptable.

<brainstorming out loud>
Allow (x) access to the dedicated rsync server, not limited by time.
	- Allow Devs to change this number if they feel it is necessary
		- <5min access when working directly with Dev.
	- number reset every (y) days.
	(this means new infra, so prolly not)

Per AT Access:
	Each AT upload their ssh_pub to the existing infra - use that
for ?secure? rsync auth.
