Warning for the section about disabling mitigations?

I think that showing users how to disable security features should come with some warning. Users that are not familiar with these mitigations might copy and paste this configuration without considering the security implications. Also I don't think it's a good idea to have the configuration take the command line from the web page, as the web page might change. --Pingiun (talk) 16:16, 26 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Good call, just removed it, while still leaving the useful parts of the section.
