Yeah, it is a good point. I wonder if we could get the effect you want
without the complication in implementation (a review process for
location changes) simply by disallowing changes from people with zero
karma. In your case it would have fixed things -- unless the user
figured that out and worked around it, which is actually quite a bit of
work.

Note also that we're doing work to get anonymous users (which mostly
come in for ShipIt via OpenID) to no longer have directly valid
Launchpad accounts. I guess this might not help in your specific case.
