Really, this is old, well known, easy to avoid. People that make mistakes like this have no business programing. The real problem is very likely though that management hired the cheapest people it could get.

I maintain a plugin which I don't host on AMO, because the review process is *glacial*. This nice security measure is going to make sure it will take weeks to get a ten-minute fix to my users.
