--- Comment #3 from Oleksandr Tymoshenko <gonzo@FreeBSD.org> ---
Reiterating comment #2: upstream author strongly objects to implementing
modeline option.

quote:

/* O_MODELINE       4BSD
 *      !!!
 *      This has been documented in historical systems as both "modeline"
 *      and as "modelines".  Regardless of the name, this option represents
 *      a security problem of mammoth proportions, not to mention a stunning
 *      example of what your intro CS professor referred to as the perils of
 *      mixing code and data.  Don't add it, or I will kill you.
 */

Closing this PR as "works as intended"
