My argument was that we should not build in policies that assume administrators are incompetent. That we should put the tools in their hands and not restrict them. That lets them be as creative as they want and not constrained because we have a preexisting opinion about their abilities or an opinion about the policies they should follow with regard to their users files etc. Anyway, i'm bowing out of this discussion because i'm sure you'll decide a reasonable course of action.
