This is a contemporary discussion, today, concerning hundreds perhaps thousands of lines of code. That's it.
If someone is objecting to changes because of things like "bob;>/hacked". That is laughable, and I will continue to point and laugh. Imagine limiting URL encoding because of SQL injection.
We can fix this, then fix the things that break - and then we can improve.
Or we can ossify into stone. Your choice.

Don't get me wrong, I also would love to make sweeping changes to many things in computing. I still think it is perfectly valid to impose reasonable limitations on input even if the program could theoretically handle it - it prevents all kinds of problems at the very root (like allocating disproportionate amounts of resources, infinite timeouts, etc).
