I was asking specifically about the non file-visiting buffers.

Why would a buffer's name tell _anything_ about whether the user can
trust it?

If we wanted to let this completely up to the user, we wouldn't be
introducing this feature, certainly not so close to a release, would
we?
The question is serious: how do we envision this "trust" thing to work
with buffers that don't visit files? If we are to change the code,
certainly on the emacs-30 branch, we need a solid solution which
provides more safety/security to users. Adding a variable doesn't
solve a problem, it _adds_ a problem (how to populate the variable).
