On IRC, [JCF] has raised an objection to the necessity of VPSs, even for the
use case that UASS has.
It was suggested that due to the infrequency of the request, and the lack of
issues with account locking in the past, that the security benefits of
integration outweigh the advantages of VPS-based service isolation.
"We're probably better off sticking with what we do well rather than
introducing something we're less likely to maintain in the interests of
security."

I am personally for integration; it makes it much easier. However, what is
committee's opinion? Is this something that should be brought to tech@ or
wheel@ for discussion?
