Well, if you think having a paranoid root umask is a bad thing for a security guy, and never having thought about it or messed with it is a good thing, rock on with your bad self. Of course, not thinking about the various contingencies does lead to a much tidier document. And that's what's important, right? Being wary is good. I encourage any potential user to look over the ~1000 lines of python code, as it is quite readable (and browsable online) and it makes for better bug reports.
