I'm attempting to establish, I think the term is, a preponderance of truth
from less trusted authorities. Beyond this point though the argument
becomes silly; because if I own those accounts (and I do); I can submit, +2
things, deploy to the site (because I'm part of the deployment group), etc.

I'm assuming that not all ops people know how to do this / or are willing
to find out. And not all opsens are located in the office. Additionally, we
submit SSH key revocation requests via email -- I'm just doing the same
thing in a public list because this a more public resource and I started
with the assumption that I didn't need a root to do this.

It's using #REDIRECT; you're correct though in that it should be a soft
redirect. I'd change it; but... I can't... :p
