Hi Security people,
There is a bug [1] lingering for a while since it is more a security design
question for Ubuntu than a technical problem. There are a few people from
the Community discussing from their POV but the server Team often has to
back-out for being unsure about the actual "security aspects" of this.
Is it safe, is it good, are there drawbacks ...

A while ago I subscribed ubuntu-security but I might have not pushed hard
enough to get a response. I want to rekindle this topic by reaching out on
the ML (and to Joe) and wanted to ask if you could assign someone from
security to take a deeper look at what/if we'D want to do about it.

After 20.04 is probably a good time to do such a change, so now is the time
to discuss ...

P.S. I'd have tried to catch you on the sprint, but since that failed let's
mail about it ...
