This removes the dependency for miners to have a geth node with accounts that need to be unlocked. Miners would be able to better isolate their private keys from the world, yeilding better security potential.

What I meant to say was that miners need to manually set their nodes etherbase to an address not managed by geth, OR they need to unlock the account / export the private key in order to gain access to the etc.
