For the sake of avoiding some muppet doing what I did, I recommend putting a big warning sign in the README.md file to make sure people know not to user their Amazon root keys for this:

My plugin was basically identical in it's basic operation to this one, and it almost burned a US$6000 hole in my pocket.

I think we could probably add a link to the Best Practices for Managing AWS Access Keys page in the Readme.
