No input data flow control is bad as well, but I guess this is being worked
on.
Anyway, I really agree that we need to concentrate a lot more on security.
The last mail threads were about IKC and P2P ... :)
Apart from checking the source code we should invest more time to build
the security part of POE (things like ssh connections, DOS prevention, ...).
Up to now using POE is kind of "raw". Building systems that are secure
by default should be easier if applications are written on a more abstract
level.
I hope that this topic will more attention :)
