Well the only potential "problem" is who codes it and how good they
are.  If it's some dipshit flunkie, like Mr. "Unknown" up there, then
you could run into all sorts of potential problems, including your
worm being taken over and used for any number of malicious purposes.
It would need to be coded *VERY* carefully and ideally as absolutely
simplistic as possible.  But even in the worst case scenario, a failed
or exploited worm with severely limited capabilities would be *FAR*
preferable to the original worm it was designed to take out.
