Evan, I understand your concerns about this feature, especially when it comes to security. I know that a feature like this has to be done carefully. I would appreciate it if you could give me some more feedback. Do I seem to be on the right track at all with my thoughts on it? Also, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the security concerns you have. Maybe there is more to this than what I initially thought. Would it be possible to maybe break the feature into smaller parts, and I work on one part of it for GSoC?
