It would certainly be less convenient for checking on the status of new
tars/respins etc.

At the moment where a team has multiple packagers/machines with separate
ssh keys, it is easy to log in and change those. Will we still be able
to make such changes ourselves?

As said, we (kubuntu) have symlinks to common dirs in our homedir, to
make access easier. Will we still be able to manage those?
