There are no security holes in the Emacs CVS, as I'm sure you
understand.

IMO, this whole feature of highlighting attributes is an annoyance,
and the only reason I could live with it until now is because it
previously had a not-so-in-my-face color.  Now someone made it glaring
red, which is too much for me.  So I now turned this off by default on
Windows, which _defaults_ to group- and world-writable files, even on
latest versions with strict security features, such as full-fledged
ACLs.
