That way those of us who are running non-broken systems where the permissions on unix-domain sockets are actually respected can enjoy the functionality right away. I expect someone will fix the security problem pretty soon, by using a subdirectory. Once that is done, we can simply turn it back on. I turned it off now just as insurance against forgetting about it.
