> If a user plugs a USB drive in his/her machine and it causes the machine to lock up because it has a broken EROFS filesystem on it, that's not cool.

We think that's not cool as well, so we are now addressing and will continue actively addressing it.
But that is not absolute standard on this field ---- one hour, two hours, a day, a month, or forever? by some tool? and that is not filesystem-specific issue, but for all on-disk new features...

Again, please give us some time, not long before it resists almost all malformed images (it can already resist more malformed images than weeks before, and we will fix those reports as quick as what we can... that is our attitude on this...)
