Perhaps this might argue for this being in a lower level that is on 
by default... is just knowing the physics engine the threat or 
something you can do when you know the engine?

I think a careful consideration of all the functions to asses which 
are at various clear threat levels, and then setting one threat level 
as the default would be good.

I think that makes sense.. as its a long list.

bin/addon-modules...

While we are looking at this... there seems to be an old 
bin/addon-modules directory whose read me indicates that any .ini 
file in there is "picked up automatically".  Is this actually the 
case? If so I assume its just to OpenSim.exe not Robust.exe?  And if 
so why is it named addon-modules that than config-includes. Does any 
addon actually use it?  It at least ought to be made clear in the 
README that its for OpenSim.ini rather than potentially confusing 
this with Robust.[HG.].ini possible inclusion.
