Why was this one warning left in the release?

Unlike all of the other warnings and errors that were fixed, this issue is not 
a C syntax or grammar problem; it is merely a "suggestion" to switch library 
calls:
  files.c:302: warning: the use of `mktemp' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'

Converting requires a minor change to the program logic and testing of several 
error conditions. Given the time constraints for the first release, the risk of 
damaging the programs' error handling seemed greater than the reward of 
silencing this last message.
