Well yeah, but there's two cases which I bump into a lot:

- semi-trusted and clued users editting ttw

- paranoia over damage to anything other than the ZODB in the case of a 
TTW site having its auth compromised. (eg: someone writing their 
password on a post-it note)

For both of these, RestrictedPython working as advertising would be a 
"good thing"...

cheers,

Chris
