Re: Image mode

[Richard Stallman]

    The consensus seems to be that the way to handle the (hypothetical)
    risk of security holes due to image library bugs is to patch the image
    libraries if such bugs are found, NOT to hobble image display in
    programs that use them.

Can you say where you've seen this concensus affirmed?
Who is it a consensus among?  I want to get some idea of
how much we can trust their judgment.
