That's also good point for discussion. IMHO and in perfect situation, it
would be best that we have both. i.e. first check banner only, if
safe_check is off, do some additional tests.

That info is something we should add to each vuln - how it is
implemented(safe/banner only, triggering vulnerability, ...) for benefit
to developers and users. Whetever it is wiki or some other form...
