Actually I imagine that many people won't have a problem with running the connector, in much the same way that many people don't have a problem with downloading and running other kinds of software from the Internet on their personal computer.
And... naturally there will be other people who don't want to run the connector, and so the site will be less useful to them.
Since this is a new and different kind of system, I wanted to be clear about what's going on -- so no one is surprised, and can make their own informed decision about if and where they want to run the connector.
I also plan to eventually have an API so that, among other things, people can perform their own runs and post the results to the site.
