On second thought, no, it's not fine by me.

If you re-enable `image-toggle-display', having the images *not* shown
by default is just an inconvenience: the user's gonna do C-c C-c and
wonder why are we making things hard for him. There's no security
protection at all, because the user won't be aware there's a security
risk.

So, if you want to re-enable it, let's scrap the whole last month of
image changes and start rethinking it all: whether we want content
auto-detection for images, how to warn the user of the possible risks,
allowing easy customization for people that already understand the
issues, etc.

Rewriting is good sometimes. And it shouldn't take long.

I'm serious. It's better to delay Emacs 22 a week or two that release
a partial solution no one is happy with.
