It's not that toolserver admins are excentric adding such rule, but an
issue of WM-DE liability if such information is published.
However, I think that providing such file to just a few selected people
would be acceptable.
Also, as discussed with Ariel, I will gladly mirror such dumps at wm-es
web space.
