Agreed. If I were a sysadmin where I had users I didn't trust, then I'd be worried. Actually, I'd simply not enable module autoloading. In fact, I don't run autoloading because I don't like it personally. And I'm lucky that I have users on my network that I feel I can trust. Besides, I know where they live, or at least where they store their data/theses :-)
