I'm not sure what to say.
On the one hand I agree, but on the other I have found myself annoyed
at select-safe-coding-system's insistence that I select a coding-system
that it deemed safe (whereas I wanted another coding-system which I knew
was safe even though Emacs disagreed).
So I think that select-safe-coding-system should be changed to allow
the user to select an unsafe coding-system and that it should
also be possible to save with a different coding-system than the
one specified in the `coding:' tag.
But in both cases, it should only allow it after the user has gone
through a fair bit of warnings and questions (and/or something
like (put 'eval-expression 'disabled nil)).
