If you read his posting in its entirety, you will notice that he has
actually put a heck of a lot of consideration into this particular
decision, *and* he has even gone for the trouble of writing it all up
for *your* benefit. You are being very ungrateful in my opinion.
Whenvever you post one of these "OMFG security
flaw" posts to a public
mailing list, it damages the reputation of MediaWiki as a secure and stable
wiki engine.
OMFG my holy and sacred MediaWiki! It is the most secure and stable in
the universe and anyone who doubts it is a heretic and must be burnt at
the stake!
Seriously, security flaws need to be pointed out. *Especially* in
open-source software.
