The point is that the responsible parties are expected to NOT do such things in the first place. I expect many shops are quite a bit less concerned with such things but I expect the larger and more exposed companies will just not want to opt in, and may need to prove to their betters that it is not only not enabled but the code has been actively removed or disabled. I'm not trying to be a buzz-kill; I am adding a parochial perspective. r.
