Yep, which is why I'm asking here. It's not a daemon or long-running service
or anything, but I do understand what you're saying. And yes, I'm planning on
getting some -main's to +1 it, but I was told the first step was throwing an email
out on the list.
Thanks

I strongly suggest you wait until you get at least 3-4 +1s from the
sysadmin-main folks. Keeping in mind, that any additional application is
an additional potential attack vector.
