My first thought when I saw this was "ego over ethics," which says more

*If* there's an issue it'll come out eventually regardless of any little
games the pseudo-deities wish to play. In the meantime, follow best

protect the private key, ensure that only trusted people who need it get
shell access and disable anything that isn't absolutely necessary.
