Probably (I think at the time Marius submitted it the =E2=80=98ld=E2=80=99 =
wrapper
enhancements were not in =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99 yet.)

For the security aspect though, given that it=E2=80=99s a fairly critical
component, I=E2=80=99d like to have Leo=E2=80=99s opinion.  Thoughts?

Indeed!

Thanks,
