IMHO, this was a horribly bad decision upstream. If you've restricted your incoming NRPE source to a trusted one with UFW or similar, this is a perfectly safe thing to do and helps centrally manage lots of parameters. I think a default arg of 0 was enough to keep a safe config. Users who choose to enable an unsafe configuration without mitigations despite the documented warnings are idiots and the package shouldn't be crippled as a result.
I volunteer to maintain this package in Ubuntu and build with a different config than upstream.
