Comment 12 for bug 567913

Marc Deslauriers: It is better to have a secure system than a compromised system with WMV+sound. In general reverting a security fix because of functionality regression is insane.
I trust you had some reason, for example:
- the original CVE-2009-46XX/security-issue22.patch in fact did not fix security bug (or any bug) or
- the security bug is unlikely to be exploitable or
- the bug is not exploitable if patches 01 to 21 remain applied or
- the code is exploitable but it runs in sandbox therefore no real harm is done

I suggest putting a rationale in an update next time.

For those interested the patch is
