Isaac, this is the 34th security problem in Moodle since 2004. (Counting
by CVE assignments, many of them represent multiple security problems)

It's already more or less unsupportable in Sarge (AFAICT fixes for about
a dozen vulnerabilities need to be analysed, extarcted and backported,
as upstream doesn't provide clean information; this is roughly 0.5-1
man days of work)

I don't think we should repeat the mistake to include it in a stable
release again.

Cheers,
        Moritz
