Would that really matter though? I mean, how would I know that the binary

Plus, I do have quarantined machines I blow away and rebuild regularly that I
don't mind putting unknown binaries on from time to time. Any my mileage
definitely does vary ;-)
Just my 0.02. I figure there's no list like FD for unknown binaries...
