I am talking as an ISV. I never thought about freelancer but it sounds like they would find it useful too.
I agree with you about abuse which is why I said it should be restricted and only available for the ISV use. We would have the same liability issues and we couldn't include it with the product as it is today. I would think that the following would mitigate most of the risk. 1. It runs in the product address space and only for the use of the product (not viable in any other address space). 2. The ISV must get a temp usage key with you to allow it to be used for an hour. 3. Breakpoints only in private. 4. No storage modifications other than breakpoints. 5. Viewing storage limited to the product address space and address spaces available thru access registers. 6. SAF rules required to ensure the customer will allow it's use.
