Just to clarify - we've done dangerous interfaces in the past. We
probably have tons of them still that I haven't even thought about,
and I think I can hear somebody sniggering from miles away about
various bugs that cause much more obvious security holes that I didn't
think of.
But the fact that we might have other holes that can be misused,
doesn't mean we have to add new ones that seem to be almost designed
for misuse.
