--- Comment #7 from Jeff Darcy <jdarcy at redhat.com> ---
It feels dirty because it is dirty, but there aren't many alternatives that
work for the CLI as well as all of the daemons.  The CLI doesn't use a config
file for permanent options, so they have to be re-specified on every
invocation.  That means anyone switching from insecure to secure management
communications has to change all of their scripts that use the CLI. 
Environment variables aren't as foolproof, and wrappers are even dirtier in
their own way.

That said, perhaps it would be better to make this the start of a permanent CLI
config file.  If we define a place and a format, then we could use it for
future options with similar behavior, even if this is the only one for now. 
Thanks for the feedback.

BTW, I'm working on a better fix that will pass all of our regression tests,
and hopefully also eliminate the long delay before the CLI command fails.  Keep
watching this space.  ;)
