We don't know who will cause problems, or who will have their account compromised (which is what happened to lead us to take these precautions). There are also many thousands of admins, not an amount we could vet - even if we had enough information on them to be useful.

Where you have unknown people who might exploit potential vulnerabilities in a system, the first step has to be to check for and remove those vulnerabilities.
