Thank you!

Please do not. You *do* have a point here, but:

 1) public discussion upfront for a security issue is not always possible,
    as you are well aware
 2) there has been a public security advisory which assumes this change
    and would need to be revised in case of reversal
 3) formally backing out other developers changes requires core approval

Thanks!
