[Zope] How safe is "view management screens"?

Since one of my sites doesn't use any password-protected
database connection, or anything else that I can't let my users
see, and since the site is primarily directed at the Free
Software community, I'm considering a way of allowing users to
view all my source code.

Just adding a ``view source'' method may not cut it, because
cross-method calls would obscure a lot of the thing.

I was thinking that perhaps the most easy and powerful way
would be giving ``View management screens'' to Anonymous.
Assuming I don't give them any add/change/delete permissions,
that should be safe enought, no? Or am I missing something?

(If I can do that, it would be also very cool because I'd be
showing off what Zope can do. Of course I'd have to make the
Products I use available for download somewhere else, but
that's a given anyway.)
