At least some types of malleability are less harmful than others: changing a few bits with some weird ECC transformation isn't as likely to cause problems as being able to append arbitrary data to a transaction's input script. And of course, we do prevent the latter with the cleanstack rule - consensus enforced in segwit. -- https://petertodd.org 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org
