Yes, there are sometimes quite a lot of novice users on this Community, so a warning can't hurt.

And I'm not saying @xenetis wants to do harm or something like that, but in theory it's perfectly possible to have benign code _now_, have the Community say great things about it and after a while modify the code into something harmful.
