After a conversation at the end of the last administrative meeting, I
was wondering something about the current decorator scheme which never
even dawned on me - security. Should we have addons in the app_server
at all aside from accelerants? If so, how "trusted" should the access
be? To be a little more specific, I mean that, for example, there is a
function which returns a pointer to the graphics driver. Should
decorators be allowed to access this pointer or should there be proxied
access to it, for fear of doing absolutely stupid things like calling
delete on it? Decorators at this point can't do something crazy like
delete all running apps or something, but I wondered if this kind of
thing is a legitimate concern. Thoughts?
