--- Comment #5 from Chris Steipp <[email protected]> ---
I prefer a whitelist for two reasons:

* When we have security issues that effect the outbound connection (the
curl-imap overflow, and need I even bring up heartbleed), then forcing a delay
between when someone setting up a hostile server to exploit the flow and
getting requests from wmf servers is a good thing.

* If an attacker is running a 0-day attack, and gets the url approved before we
patch our servers, we at least have an audit log of who requested and approved
the url whenever we figure out it's hostile.
