Yeah, but it's not immediately obvious if you're not familiar with
imagemagick internals (I certainly didn't know what policy.xml was), and
it's part of 70 lines of changes.

Given this is flat out disabling a big chunk of functionality in
something frequently used as part of other programs / scripts, in an LTS
release, a mention in NEWS or README or something might be an idea. Or
at least a more verbose changelog entry.

Is this the recommended long-term solution to whatever the underlying
vulnerability is, or is it a stop-gap until something else - I assume
ghostscript - is properly patched?
