The problem is that everything `potentially internet facing' will need a very fast acting and organized support system. I think, the worst we can do, is include something, because it's easy to do, and then not committing to the support which would be needed. I had my wake-up moment yesterday when a missed vulnerability in one (non-standard) Joomla component was exploited:-( Drupal had eight releases of the 5.* release over the last year, are we prepared to take that load?
