I have no problem with "circumventing ... policy". It's "circumventing security" that bugs me. Sysadmins do that somewhat frequently in password recovery, file recovery, etc.
I think we should be more explicit about what we mean by "circumventing security or policy". I think we all know what we mean by that, but if someone is reading a FAQ, he might think twice about posting a question on the edge of that, and that's detrimental to the community.
