The problem isn't the fact that it's in plaintext - its the
profanities list itself. Profanity detection isn't something you can
do with a simple match list - at least, not if you want to do it well
(hence, the Scunthorpe problem). The goal is to deprecate the
profanity list - the only issues are when, and how we do this in a
backwards compatible way.
