I think the original poster's intention was to be somewhat inflammatory as a way to draw attention to the very high level of trust you are granting to CloudFlare in this model. You are effectively giving them whatever privileges you yourself have on those boxes. Of course, CloudFlare is making it their business to be and convince others that they are that trusted third-party.
