Who's the right one to decide what's trusted, the user, or the author of
the software?  In my opinion, it's the user.

Here's one reason you might care: you want your sysadmins to be
able to edit the files in inputs without being root.  Maybe it's
not a good idea, but that's for the end-user to decide.

If you want to enforce that sort of policy, it should be a
configuration option, not something hard-coded -- at the very
least the user should have the option of disabling it.
