That was me.  Serious lapse in judgement on my part.  I pretty much did
it to get a rise out of Luc; looks like I succeeded.  But it's
indefensible, and I apologize.  I'm kind of in a bad place emotionally
and I should know better than to act that out in public.

I've disabled my root accounts on the fd.o machines.  I don't trust me
with them anymore either.

Congratulations to ajax for stepping forward; many would not have (see any recent political scandal for precedent).

Also extremely glad that they weren't rooted. It seemed more likely to me that they had been.
