The warning given in the -X description is enough for me and something I think should be considered.

I'm not saying don't use -Y but only be aware of the implications of doing so, that's all.

As for using "xhost +", I think that's something I would never do. I always use "xhost +localhost" to make sure no remote connections will be accepted, unless they are permitted by me.
