Thanks. As long as Potlach lacks essential features to prevent
data corruption, you must disable it.  The issue wasn't that serious
until now.  But these days, we have more carefully entered data
and new users are joining every day: So I think at the moment it
is more important to secure the existing data than adding something.

At least, that's valid for certain areas.
