It would be a mistake to remove this functionality, since it has
perfectly safe & legimitate uses, as repeatedly outlined already.
Therefore, calling it "deprecated" is a mistake.  The extra scare
language about "Only enable this option if you understand the risks
involved [...]" belongs in the SECURITY section, though it only
slightly amplifies what is already there.

Note that I don't object to the new behavior as default for the system
pmwebd service.
