I wonder why Blizz protects API that can't really be exploited with to begin with. This is one prime example, how can you cheat in the game by having an addon "cast" a flare for you? You would have to click to actually apply it in the world anyway -and that's already protected, so...

Meh, wish they could work as a team sometimes when coding the UI and implementing API. Feels like some decisions are not made as a team, that's all I am saying. Protect the code that you must, have secure templates for stuff like buffs, actionbars, e.g. so addons can't be used for playing the game for you, other than that leave the rest for the modders to use -also don't use local variables like the consolidation table, can't even hooksecure to alter it's function as there is no way of hooking a local variable either... keep stuff global when you don't got the options implemented to customize to begin with.
