It seems to me this comment is a bit emotional... :(
If we need ten more years of experimence before proposing a new
security feature, all the new developers (outcome from other
community) need to wait for the v8.14 (not 8.1.4) development
cycle opened at 2019(?).

I would like folks to review what the patch tries to do, not who
submitted the patch.
(And, I also would like experts to help/suggest this development.)

Thanks,
