If what we now are using works (and given that we are not exactly overloaded with user input at this point) I think we should stick with the software we have, and not have to worry about even potential security risks with newer software. "Better Safe than Sorry." And when we are talking about "security" we don't simply mean risking having to click on the "undo" button of an article (or even -- in the worst-case scenario -- have to re-upload the the contents from a backup).
When someone's personal security is at risk (their real-life identity, their livelihood, their relationships with friends and neighbors, etc.) there is no "undo" button to click on.
