Everyone needs to choose their own risk posture, and different applications 
have different needs.  There are certainly people out there for whom Yubikeys 
are adequate, and for whom the SC4-HSM won’t make sense.  But I believe that 
there are applications and not-entirely-unreasonable risk postures for which a 
Yubikey might not be adequate.  If nothing else, having a programmable USB 
dongle with a display makes kind of a cool toy to noodle around with.

Tony: I really don’t mind negative feedback when it’s constructive.  In fact, I 
very much appreciate it.  But I’m really having a hard time discerning a 
constructive purpose in your critique.  What exactly do you think that I should 
be doing differently?  Change the design?  Give up and join you in being an 
evangelist for Yubikeys?  Something else?  I really don’t get it.
