thats an option but even now, before we even have a experimental decoder in
git we already had a out of array write issue caused by evc code
so we still need to be carefull as not everything is under these checks

also iam not sure "experimental" is the right flag for code that has
possible security issues. People might turn experimental on not realizing
the security aspect.

Breaking DRM is a little like attempting to break through a door even
though the window is wide open and the only thing in the house is a bunch
of things you dont want and which you would get tomorrow for free anyway
