I guess the question there is- how hard would it be for someone to
script the community auth process, so that they can automatically
download the mbox's each month, if they wish to..?
I'm guessing it's probably not that hard, but that's the one thing that
comes to mind regarding this proposal.. Otherwise I am generally in
support of requiring community auth for this instead of using the basic
auth method we have today.
Thanks,
Stephen
