Could this be used to incrementally increase a user's rights depending
on their 
"past good behavior" in a somewhat automated way ? Thus as confidence in
a usre's
good behavior increases the system automatically (or with some human
filtering) allows him 
greater privileges ( perhaps short of admin).

Am I grokking this right ?
