is the "stability concerns" accurate ? I am running with it enabled since
several long time without problems.
it has been disabled in 2019-04-17
- disable wasm (WebAssembly) by default because it is a disaster
and ENABLE_WASM knob added in 2020-07-29
- check if the ENABLE_WASM environment variable is set and do not disable
webassembly if it is; this makes zoom.us (evil) work
so it is working in some extends since at least July, 2020.
anyway, I am fine with the proposed diff: it should be documented.
