 > I thought about this, but I strongly disagree. The sitemeta value could
 just as easily be updated via any "vulnerability."

 If someone can get access to the database through a hack or vulnerability,
 nothing can be done in the UI to prevent a knowledgeable hacker from
 gaining access. IMO, the fact that it can be done another way doesn't
 justify creating a second potential opportunity.
