Request via postal mail?  Seriously? Is there some sort of license 
requirement for this?  Are they going to ship us a usb drive or sd card 
with the file leases.dat on it and then we ship back with the dev key on it?

Doing this via paper is absurd.  If you go through the support tickets 
you will find that we can't even get Joe non-tech person to type in the 
retrieval URL correctly much less a 256+ character string of what most 
would describe as gibberish.

If a thousand people do paper who is going to manually type in each of 
the key requests?
