I think the patch is bad for two reasons:
1. Disabling the SECURITY extension will break "xauth", almost every ssh
implementaion under the moon (except OpenSSH which may surive this condition,
ssh.com's ssh doesn't handle that case), the XC-APPGROUP extension (see [2]) and
a couple of other things...
2. AFAIK the XC-APPGROUP extension needs the SECURITY extension to provide
"tags" for display connections - and right now the only implemented way to make
such tags  is to generate a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 which marks all applications
which use that cookie with the "tag" (kaleb may correct me if I am wrong...).
