That's the technical end of it.   A shell script can handle that.

I was wondering about the complexity of dealing with larger #s of 
organizations with differing technical
ability, different motivations, different processes, more chances for 
things to go wrong, more keys to manage, etc....
maybe its a non-issue (I hope) or off topic, but I was wondering if 
anyone sees scaling issues that might impact
security/deployability.
