Er, what protocol does this use to share?  What authentication methods
are there?  What ports does it use?  Why would there suddenly be a
publicly viewable folder WITHIN MY HOME DIR?!

I strongly object this EVER making it into core without some
administrative method of restricting access or the ability to 'turn it
off'.  Heck, I'd rather not see it there period.  User workstations are
not for sharing files.  A file server is designed and useful for that.
