<div>I don't feel passwords are any more or less secure than keys.

</div>citation needed. I was just able to log in to both of<br>
bastion[23].<a href="http://wmflabs.org" target="_blank">wmflabs.org</a> on the first try.<br>

<br>
</div>That might be feasible. But really the solution is don't let people<br>
kill the bastion. idk how we do that. and idk why the past social<br>
restrictions aren't sufficient. maybe we need ulimit or cgroups or<br>
something. :-(<br>
