Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| The facts are:

~ - We didn't take care about partitioning permissions by users anywhere
really, it's all root

~ - You can login as root randomly up until now anyway, dropbear I've
seen in images is happy to do it

~ - It's legit if somebody, especially a paying customer, comes and says
"huh?" about that, it's nice that he didn't add "are you guys newbies?"

~ - "you're right" is the only response, no customer owes us paid guys
their sweat to "help out" like they should be grateful to fix our mess

~ - Pressure is even worse right now than usual at Openmoko, already
famous for there being no upper limit of work, but let's chill but
remember we're talking to customers now
