That works for the "automating an existing system to be run by someone
who has an unchanging SSH key" paradigm. The problem I am working on
now includes "figure out if this is a brand-new system with a default
password and change it to something better even if the person running
this doesn't have their own SSH key". The former is much easier, and I
certainly agree that Fabric does a grand job of it.
