This is a subject best brought up on another list. (Though I'm not sure
which list is appropriate.) The folks responsible for those parts of
the system don't monitor this list, and I'm not about them to the list
for purposes of an off-topic discussion.
Perhaps one of the WWDR folks that monitor this list can point you at a
more appropriate forum.
Seems to me that those are significant risks to the community.
(At risk of continuing a thread that probably shouldn't be continued
here...)
From what I've seen of Haxies, they are no more of a risk than the
Accessibility APIs. Neither is turned on by default, and the user must
take explicit action to turn them on. I don't see their existence as a
problem. A user that wants a secure system will only install software
(or make configuration changes) that won't compromise security.
