That's what IMO is unthinkable: we cannot possibly force the user's
hand that much, especially since this used to work before.  Users need
to learn about the problem and install a newer Python, and then the
security hole will be gone, at least as far as invoking Python from
Emacs is concerned.  The most we can do is urge the users to upgrade
in the NEWS entry where we announce this new feature.
