The patch as given isn't any more secure than just enabling
ALLOW_DANGEROUS_LO_FUNCTIONS, so I for one will vote against
applying it.

I'm still unconvinced that there's any need to create a server-side LO
import/export loophole.  Client-side LO operations are inherently safer,
and that's the direction you should be looking in for a solution.
