It's quite bizzare to use "off topic comments" as an excuse to close a pull-req
fixing a specific security vulnerability, assuming you actually care about that
vulnerability. As I've said elsewhere, Core could have easily and quietly
merged that pull-req as-is, possibly by having a few people write some obvious
ACK rationals.

The only good explanation for closing it is to further delay merging the
pull-req, as well as disclosing the vulnerability.
