- josephcsible 3y agoYou're not supposed to go to such lengths to stop people from shooting themselves in the foot, because when you do, you also stop people from doing clever things.
- Racing0461 3y agoI don't want my authentication library to do clever things.
- josephcsible 3y agoThen you don't have to make yours do so. But if other sysadmins disagree, they should be able to make theirs do so.

- josephcsible 3y agoThe same applies. If you don't want it to do clever stuff on your computer, then just configure it not to do so. Don't try to make the software less configurable so that I can't make it do clever stuff on my computer.
