which, face it, is going to be all of them; I doubt Haskell is popular enough yet to be the target of DoS attacks
Second that. I think this is a good case in which some security should be traded in for usability. And even if a DoS attack occurs, it just causes some downtime... not unlike the certain hours of downtime that the documentation currently has. If there's actually an exploitable leak in Haddock that allows the server to be compromised (not just DoSed), then the current Haddock generation is just as vulnerable. But of course I'm not the maintainers of Hackage... it's up to them to decide. Thomas
