I'm from the school where you don't run anything you don't
absolutely need. Not even if the code is not being used, just
loaded. I don't mind having the code on disk and accessible if/when
I need it (even though that's also a risk), but I absolutely do not
want the code loaded unless I'm actually going to be making use of it.
