Absolutely - and I do very much respect the reasons for that. So Linda and I are
suggesting a non-default option or option value called something like
"YesIWantToShootMyselfInTheFootAndWontComplainAboutItOnSlashdotSoTurnOnWideLinks"
instead of reverting to an insecure default. In our usage scenarios, such a shot
in the foot is something quite desirable and useful.
