[Bf-committers] "Security" gets in the way

[Daniel Salazar - 3Developer.com]

So the scenario here as I see it is: people who don't know about this
leave the loading of scripts off (and are safe from the evil blender
hackers out there), next people start having the problems related to
this setting and due to it being unusable in production they find out
how to disable it everywhere and then they are right where everything
started, except from time to time someone forgets to set the flag on
and gets a nice headache while wondering why this feature exists in
the first place
