This has been discussed before.  The danger here is that any script
that FUBARs a user's system (or anything bad that happens to a user's
system after running said script, regardless of whether or not the
script is at fault) will reflect negatively on OpenNIC, and might
cause more damage than good.

Personally, I'm all for individuals who want to provide user scripts
to get the job done.  But is it in OpenNIC's best interest to actually
host these?
