That is more along the line of what I thought was status quo.

That policy is fine but perhaps needs to be more visible to the people 
going into areas where secure laptops were distributed and we should try 
to be helpful to those people when they request developer keys.

The point of my comments was clarification that olpc-os-builder is not 
an end all solution to the lack of the customization key not working 
anymore and should not be offered up as such.

Doing customization by a bash script after boot is a fine solution and 
now people can invest time in polishing that script.
