Subject: [POLL] We plan to remove #+LINK: ...%(my-function) placeholder from link abbreviation spec (was: [ANN] Emergency bugfix release: Org mode 9.7.5)

Dear all,

> The vulnerability involves arbitrary Shell code evaluation...

In a view of the recent vulnerability, we are considering to remove the
offending feature completely.

For the time being, we restricted %(function) constructs in #+LINK:
... lines to (1) pure functions (no side effects, no access to global
state); (2) functions explicitly marked by the user.

However, while discussing how to approach the vulnerability, we did not
find many examples of using #+LINK: label %(function) in the wild.

If you are actively using #+LINK: keywords with %(...) placeholders or
have any objections to this feature removal, please let us know.
