- atoav 3y agoThis is a bad idea, and maybe if you think about it a few minutes you could come up with the reasons why, yourself. For starters, enabling things can as easily introduce vulnerabilities as keeping them disabled. So you won nothing, created more pressure and have everyone working on top of a system that can change under their feet — a recipe for a disaster.
