Hi!

IMHO the system were a tick more secure if TYPO3 would only then execute 
code in ext_tables.php and ext_localconf.php if there is a flag present in 
ext_emconf.php.

With this flag only ext_emconf.php must be protected. An attacker may not 
use write rights to an extenions directory to get his code into TYPO3.
