I already wrote you possible ways how we can cement the current situation more and IIRC you did not picked any. Meanwhile Tommaso committed patch which is slightly improving situation by "scary dialog". I did not hear your reaction to it either. > > Even after all discussion I still see adding the whole needauth machinery > > as unnecessary complication of code and UI; possible future use of pygments > > still seems as made up argument for the sake of discussion rather than real > > user demand. > > Would you mind clarifying why needauth is an "unneccessary complication of > code and UI"?

I meant extending needauth mechanisms beyond current gnuplot/knitr usage for the sake of minted, because I believe minted maintainer will deliver us fix within couple months. With such sight in view, I would be just fine to let minted support in current fashion, tell people clearly in manual that adding --shell-escape is dangerous, let Uwe scream at us little bit and then be done with it.
