Research direction

Review the mruby-mpdecimal project and the mruby-time changes referenced in the issue, then check the mruby/mgem-list repository context. A complete response would explain the removed methods and security rationale and establish whether mruby-mpdecimal should move to its own repository.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

First of all, amazing project!

Now some questions:

Any chance to move the mruby-mpdecimal into an own repository so that we can link it from our mgem-list (http://github.com/mruby/mgem-list)?
I notice that you removed several methods from the mruby-time gem (e.g. local, now). I guess it is relevant from your security point of view, I would like to understand your thought about this change.

Furthermore thanks for your great contribution from this bug bounty. I guess it is somehow financed by Spotify. Nevertheless I think the security considerations are a really valuable addition. So thanks again!
