I agree. Personally, the concept of writing something that I _couldn't_ sign off on is so foreign to me that I would be very conscious of the fact, and it would be simple to remove it during the final proof-read of the patch that I do.

I think to satisfy everyone, though, you need some extra text in the documentation indicating that signing off is supposed to be conscious, and you should understand the implications of setting the variable.
