Hi Alex,

thanks for working on this and identifying the need to address this issue.

I see under Rejected Alternatives that the option to disable this feature
has been considered already.
However, I'd like to return a bit to this option and highlight the
following:

* Exposing this request was not intended in the first place and can be
considered a bug at this point.
* Even more, having as default the option that leaves a potential security
vulnerability open is more problematic than the possibility of deprecating
a feature like this. Taking into account that this a minor feature and that
the implications of breaking compatibility here are pretty small - if any
-, I think keeping the vulnerable option as default is worse than breaking
compatibility here.
* For issues like this one here, I think we need to consider the importance
of keeping the set of configuration options concise and essential.

Based on the above, I'd like to suggest to consider changing KIP-404 to
propose the complete removal of this feature.
