one headache (at least from the initial G1G1 machines) was the inability 
to do a cut-n-paste of the long key between the terminal and the browser 
and therefor the need to copy the long key manually between screens (or to 
and from paper)

another one (very relevant to conference situations) is the one business 
day delay in getting the keys issues. this isn't usually a problem, but 
when you only have people togeather for a couple of days (especially over 
the weekend) it may not be possible to get keys for people who don't 
already have them.

many people who would be good testers don't consider themselves 
'developers' so would not get them on their own.
