Well as long as you have control over stuff that gets added in your
autobuilder web-server through distribution of credentials
IMHO there should be no problems. In worst case one day somebody
will catch unexpected path to external toolchain in .config from
one report and that will be a reason to ask owner of corresponding
build server to not play that games.
