A couple comments -
I am ecstatic to see all of the community feedback and participation. This is
how I always envisioned it working. ModSecurity, and the OWASP CRS. Are
community projects. They will live/die by community involvement.
I regards to these settings – it is purely semantics but I would recommend
s/paranoid/aggressive/g. The former has a negative connotation to it while
the later seems more even handed. The point is that these rule can provide
some level of value however it is at the expense of False Positives.

Chaim,
I see you and Walter agreeing on the idea to keep the rule around
in standard mode. I would probably still comment out the default
country list - but that's a different question.
I've removed the rule from the list of paranoia candidates.
Btw: The country list involves China, but the documentation does not
name China (but all the other countried).
Cheers,
Christian

In general I like to assume that if people are going to get caught by

honestly haven¹t heard many complaints about this feature and as a result
I¹d probably leave it enabled as it as sad as it is, is fairly effective.
