It would make more sense to have an Extension:Suhosin which introduced
restrictions of this kind, probably in one of the hooks just after
LocalSettings. While this is valuable functionality to have for users of
the suhosin patch, it's not applicable to the majority of MW installs.

I fully understood your points and concerns - which I also had.
That's why I wanted to trigger a discussion among the core team.
What do others say ?
