Your notion of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn't apply to the general public, where your posted snippet doesn't quite fit the bill of its usefulness.
If your script was originally made for one particular person, you'd have to make sure you have another version that's gonna benefit the public use.
Giving people +o, excluding those on the list as per your snippet, easily is just not a wise practice.
This goes back to the question, "why do people keep treating Hawkee as a personal pastebin?"
