Package: emacs
Version: 28.0.60
Around 30 defcustoms (mostly in Org) state ":safe t", which is incorrect.
The safe-local-variable property should be a predicate function of one
argument.

The secondary bug here is that those errors should be flagged with
a warning.

Run-time warning seems easy:

A compile-time warning would be nicer, I think.

Please make a separate bug report for this (this one is closed). Or a patch. :)
To be explicit, the failure mode causes the variable to not be
considered safe, so it's not an important issue, and should be obvious
if anyone actually tests their :safe property.
