	FWIW, there's no security risk that I'm aware of. But if you don't need 
the feature, you don't have to install the package.

	I think it'd be better to just install this now, so that if people do 
want to do some sort of SSO for gnome.org, they can just set this up in 
Bugzilla's admin interface without having to resort to a sysadmin with 
root on the box. (Of course, that might just be the same person anyway.)
