It probably would be better. It would leave people stuck still stuck (until a lawspeaker or claim owner could access the game and change settings, so no real change), but it would eliminate any possible misinterpretations and bad permission assignments. If a password file gets corrupted or otherwise compromised, the IT department will always make everyone create new passwords. Not the best of analogies, but it's the same concept, I think.
