The problem with FFI (and Alien) is that by using FFI and thus
having the FFI plugin installed you completely circumvent any
security you gain from the sandbox.
This is only really interesting for an environment like etoys where
you allow arbitrary scripts to be loaded. Right now we are not
supporting etoys, but the question is what, down the road, is going
to happen.
Another question is how more use of FFI opens us up to issues other
languages have. So far Smalltalk wasn't hackable (on the server),
with FFI generally available it could be?
If people vote this a non-issue I'm fine with it, but I wanted at
least to raise the issue at hand.
