I say go for it, but only if we can keep backwards compatibility.  This
way, gurus can gradually convert their spells over as they have time and
not be forced to do it all at once (not all gurus have the same amount of
free time).  However, I also agree with Chris, if the majority of people
believe that this security feature is now worth the trouble, then we'll
not facilitate it (well, until it's brought up later because even more
problems are caused ;)).
