This ship has sailed. In fact, it has sailed out of the harbor, across the ocean, to the remote isles, and brought back a collection of valuable trade goods. The web today depends on Javascript, and client-side scripting brings so much of what makes it actually useful that the idea of going back to entirely server-based scripting is a non-starter. The security answer here isn't going back to the web of the 90s. It's using modern container and security policy systems to contain the risk. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
