If users have to add chars to this list manually, that's Really Bad - because most won't.

i agree we shouldn't rely on it. But it's IMHO always good if users can be proactive before we roll out patches, or if they want to be more restrictive than we dare to be.

What's easier - getting loads of users to modify this pref, or shipping an automatically-installed security update to all of them?

Is there anything that makes this an either-or situation?
