I found two threads on gmane.org:

<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/49847/>:
From: Richard M. Stallman
Subject: Risky local variable mechanism
Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.devel

<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/51377/>:
From: Andrew M. Scott
Subject: Clarification on using safe-local-variable-values
Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.devel

> If we did, I'd rather not reopen the question.

I looked through the first thread and read the second thread
