The essential problem is that people can't get stuff through the
gatekeepers, so they come up with a workaround. Noting that the
workaround is insecure and saying "just don't do that" doesn't solve
the original need and won't help security. It's not clear to me what
will, but the gatekeeping is an obvious start.
