--- Comment #2 from Adriaan de Groot <adridg@freebsd.org> ---
Since the patched `policy.xml` is installed as a sample file, it doesn't matter
much. However, the *un*patched policy file does a poor job of showing what
kinds of policies / restrictions one might want to put in place. For that
matter, so does the documentation at
https://legacy.imagemagick.org/script/security-policy.php .

So overall: we have a sample file that shows what might make sense if you're
exposing ImageMagic to untrusted remote users: don't decode from https, ..
don't support format MVG or MSL, whatever those are. The patch doesn't hurt,
and might help a little.
