--- Comment #1 from Rich Bowen <[email protected]> ---
Confirmed. The reporter is correct - the subtlety this note describes is a
genuine security gotcha: an admin may believe AllowOverride Options=Indexes
prevents .htaccess from affecting other options, when in fact absolute-syntax
Options (without +/- prefixes) replaces the entire inherited set, implicitly
disabling options like FollowSymLinks or ExecCGI.

Working on a patch that rewrites the note as a warning with a concrete example.
Will commit after I've tested the example a little better.
