And how long will it be before you switch it off in production so you 
can see the values in the automatically generated emails your system 
generates?

But leaving asserts on in production can hardly remain undetected since 
they throw an exception.

And apparently you want to see more.

I don't believe that. Security only works when it is enabled by default. 
Security options that can be disabled will be disabled.

I do not want to defend the status quo. In fact, I have several open 
feature requests registered at Adobe in order to make cfqueryparam and 
datasources in general safer. I just don't want to see any changes that 
move in a direction that I feel is the wrong one.
