I'm afraid that most don't change the default, not being aware that this is an unreasonable security risk.

I can do that, but:
- it almost defeats the purpose of the patch since most people won't know to change the defaults; - Marcelo is of the opinion that it's "not 2.4 material at this point in time".
Given the above, do you still want me to resubmit a reworked patch like that?

I submit these patches in hope that they will be useful for mainstream kernels, not in an attempt to simplify maintenance of -ow patches.
