Correct, sorry for the noise, I mixed things up.

Yes, you can't currently prevent abe from uploading. But having the 
correct trust hook in place, you don't really need to. The problem is, 
every developer in your company will then need these trust hooks. This 
is (part of) the problem, policy branches should solve, IMO.

I'm currently thinking about if and how we can solve the trust problem 
in nuskool netsync. That's probably why I've confused things. Sorry again.
