 I'm not fond of "it's not broken if it's documented", if there's no clear 
 documentation and if the code behaves different than what one would 
 commonly expect. And judgement of it's insecure is left to me, please.
 
 I see a point that it's good to prevent a DOS by default,
 but I also think that adding a "allow general writes" switch makes sense.
 
 As such, please re-open the PR and assign it to me that I can look into 
 adding such an option.
 
 Thanks!
