Re: Risky local variable mechanism

What does your patch do for the case where the user is root?  The user
may very well consider things safe when he is not running as root that
would be dangerous when running as root.  But he uses the same .emacs
when running as root.

At the very least safe-local-variables should be ignored when the user
is running as root.  Does your patch do that?  Maybe other extra
precautions should be taken when the user runs as root.

Sincerely,

Luc.
