I would consider it a mediocre usability improvement in exchange for a moderate security risk -- it fails to permit any simplification of the testing instructions while permanently increasing the opportunity for Murphy to strike by causing us to treat some SNs separately from others and by removing opportunity for review and intervention. At best, it provides 'instant gratification' by taking the currently manual process of 'asking for your devkey quickly' to its logical extreme. On the other hand, I suppose it's worth considering since it's "only" an administrative change. Do you have a different analysis of its merits? Do you weigh the risk of autogenerating devkeys for stolen laptops differently than I do?
