Why not file a JIRA issue, and we can look at putting it into a 3.0.1?  
I suspect we should really be focusing over the next few weeks on  
nailing testing & stability given the amount of new code involved.

Hmmm... possible, but I think a possible security concern (I know on  
the CAS list Andrew has posted a number of times on this topic), and  
there's always concerns about defaulting to an insecure scenario. I  
think the most common scenario for the quickstart is downloading to a  
desktop computer, though I could be mistaken. I assume you're looking  
to deploy it out to a test server?
