Hi all,

While thinking about something else, I mostly accidentally implemented a
potentially interesting feature for Launchpad, anonymous read-only ssh
access to Launchpad:

https://code.launchpad.net/~mwhudson/launchpad/anon-ssh-hack/+merge/75442

There have been tickets about anonymous smart server access forever, and
this would be an easy way to solve them (although previous tickets were
written more in the expectation of bzr+http or raw bzr protocol access).

The only real reason to not land this I can think of is performance
impact on the codehosting server.  I doubt load would increase much if
we just landed the feature quietly, so we could do some testing and see
how it goes?

Cheers,
mwh
