Were there actually any real-world use-cases affected by this? Do any of them not deserve to be named and shamed irregardless of this vulnerability?

If it was up to me, I would nuke the cmd custom implementation, leave some helpful compile error messages behind, and direct users to some 3rd party crates to choose from.

Doing such a regression on a Tier 1 target would be a really big blow to the language's reputation imo
