I disagree. If anything, we can set the default value of
`org-confirm-babel-evaluate-cell' to nil and apply this patch.

Then, we can get the old behaviour back yet allowing concerned users to
have more security.

This patch does not only affect src blocks. It affects all the users of
`org-babel-read'.

Note that my suggestion about "All" may as well include "All in current
block/Yes". It should not be too hard to implement, I think.

How is it related to the current discussion?
The purpose of the security feature discussed here is not for web
browsers or anything like that.
