This essentially gives the ability for an XMLRPC server to crash any python code that interfaces with them unless you catch _every_ single exception including ones like SystemExit, KeyboardInterupt, SyntaxError, StopIteration etc.

An XMLRPC server is not a trusted resources and providing this option is akin to providing an option to unpickle arbitrary data received over the wire as well.
