Interesting blog entry... My feelings about Google and the GWA are pretty much aligned with yours however, I haven't as yet done anything to curb GWA on any of the sites that we develop/host/manage as yet.
I'm trying desperately to keep an open mind about it but at the same time, I am poring over the server logs making sure that nothing untoward is happening on any of the sites we manage. If something does happen then I will address the issue. At the moment though, there is just too much code to review and I think that a blanket ban on the GWA in the application.cfm/cfc will simply alienate the users that my clients are looking to attract, those being John and Jane Doe who want to buy a dog crate or a cross-stitch chart or some sort of beauty product or whatever else our clients sell on the sites we build for them...
