I believe that the safe_load function only got added because of the spate of exploits that the blog post was talking about. Its good that its been added, although it would have been better if it'd been there from the beginning and the safe version was default and you had to invoke 'unsafe_load' if you wanted complex object instantiation, to hopefully encourage even novices to think twice before doing it with tainted input.
