I'm sure Pavel has thought of this, around about three o'clock in the morning,
just before he wakes up screaming in a cold sweat. What's the application,
though? I can imagine it's a very general purpose change that will tend to
accumulate applications with time, but it seems odd to me that nobody has
mentioned what it would be used for. Knowing what the legitimate applications
were would surely ease the security issues debate, once the Clay-Pavel flamewar
has died down.
