For reference:

Wagon is being employed in m2 so things like using encrypted transfer
will become possible.

Some may consider it negligence but I considered convenience to be the
overriding concern. I realize security is an issue, but I feel it's
become a bit a boogey man. Anything is possible and maybe there is some
really, really bored guy with nothing better to do then muck up the
works for everyone but I'm really hoping that doesn't happen. But in m2
we will have options for the paranoid and the upload process will be
easier and more secure.

I am no security expert and I don't think we have one on the team here
but pick away at the proposals, badger security folks you know to look
things over. We are will to implement anything deemed reasonable and
sane.
