IMHO, going outside the file system on a server is not something to be 
undertaken lightly. Especially on systems running non-mainstream unices 
where CF is deployed on top of a non-mainstream J2EE application servers 
it is not something I would want to QA.

On the other hand, I think Macromedia has choosen a very non-invasive 
method for doing this and I expect it will work quite OK for developer 
tools (provided no unexpected BSODs occur when burning a CD :-) ).
I even think that if this initiative turns out not to be a success for 
Contribute that is most likely because there are too many loopholes, not 
because there is too much hassle for legitimate users.

Time will tell.
