This may make the code to _compile_, but is it sensible to let the
code build and be used by the end users without the "these protocols
are safe" filter, I wonder?  

Granted, ancient code was unsafe and people were happily using it,
but now we know better, and more importantly, we have since added
users of transport (e.g. blindly fetch submodules recursively) that
may _rely_ on this layer of the code safely filtering unsafe
protocols, so...
