In principle I'm not against that, but this late in the release process,
introducing such a big change is not a great idea, unless we do some very
rigorous testing.

We could add a note to the README stating you have to disable this
broken feature. That would be just like on Windows, where we have a note
that you must disable the virusscanner because that messes with locks
a lot.

It's completely retarded and arbitrary. It's security theatre, if I
understand correctly how it works; you could compile a custom copy of
sh and it would *not* block DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
