Agreed. One premise of the whole concept was "don't even think of
using it for security"[1]. That's not it's purpose; so any criticisms
on that basis are irrelevant. Claims that it opens new security holes
if you *don't* try to use it for this purpose don't seem to have any
merit that I can see; I don't think Pavel has even attempted to put
such an argument forward.
