It *doesn't* open a security hole and it *is* configurable. The bug is
about lacking a *GUI* way of doing this for an individual end user. Such
a feature would not be desired by system admins over seeing large
deployments. Large deployments that require such functionality do not
accomplish it by going around to each of the computers and using
System->Administration tools to adjust these settings. The users
wouldn't have su in such situations anyway.
The real point is that it's not just a simple matter of adding "one
little checkbox". Such features need to be developed and tested properly
before they are released, not jammed into the product at the last
moment.
