[ shrug... ]  Maybe, but there's a mighty lot of devils hiding in
the details.  Exactly what special privileges would this user type
need?  How would we convince ourselves (and more to the point,
convince the cloud providers) that such a set of privileges is
safe to give out?  Poking holes in the privilege model is usually
a good way to create security hazards.

BTW, please keep the list cc'd.
