 Replying to [comment:29 arma]:
 > I like the new phrasing "Feature filter". Calling it a security slider
 sure is confusing about what we might mean by security, and I think with
 that name we will forever have people messing with it thinking that it
 does something that it doesn't actually do.
 But then one should also convey the key idea "less features ⇒ less attack
 surface ⇒ "more" secure" with as much clarity as before--at least.
