Stuff gets made.

Just imagine, chainsaws, lathes, welders and now <gasp> 3D printers. What will they come up with next to give these irresponsible dilettantes a way to create their own objects... what we need here is some proper gatekeeping. Maybe a certificate or two, and some very expensive software that proves that you're a company that is serious.

And while we're at it we should forbid home brew software too.
