Hi,
I'm sorry Wes, but I don't understand your long list of urls :-( Can

I think secure by default would be good here.

the issue is known and *documented* in Python since 10 years.
Doesn't mean it's not broken

I wrote this doc :-) I just added notes about tarfile and zipfile.
The [ ] wiki links could also be useful
