Yahoo's new "Axis" apparently leaks private key, forgets Terms of Service

Yahoo today announced with great fanfare a new browser system for
mobile devices, and associated browser extensions for desktops, as the
rather oddly named (for anyone who has heard of World War II, anyway)
"Axis."

There are signs that the Axis release was just a *bit* rushed.
Users have found chunks of the development environment in the released
code, and Yahoo appears to have accidentally included their
*private* crypto signing key as well:

And their Terms of Service link at the moment leads to a placeholder:

You can provide your own jokes, if you wish.
