GitHub's Hubot does this too, and I don't think it's a bad idea. It's very similar to typing commands at a terminal, and has the advantages of being innately asynchronous, and telling everyone else in the team what you're doing.

  Well, (a) he's not suggesting that, and (b) even if he were, it doesn't seem like a huge deal. If an attacker has access to Hubot, then they already have access to everything the Hubot server can do.
