OP of the issue here - I literally talk about this in the thread. Easter eggs are cool, but obfuscated payloads in critical code is not.
> Hi, While I appreciate easter eggs (and think others have it a bit too much out for them), the fact that this easter egg is obfuscated sets off multiple alarm bells. The automated code scanners were right -- this looks like malware!

> If this easter egg was unobfuscated, I would've just looked at it and gone "thats neat", but the fact that this was obfuscated to look like malware means I have to spend 10 mins checking that it isn't actually malicious. It would be nice if the easter egg was kept but de-obfuscated so others aren't concerned by it.
