Uhm,

I like people who harden shared hosting environments but I do not understand 
how restricting yourself should give you any pratical security advantage.

I'm not aware of any security concern involving php_uname(). Are you?

Having said I'm not a fan of [[security through obscurity]], but having said I 
love the STFU operatoe, I would suggest to just allow that function instead of 
patching MediaWiki with '@' there.

Cheers
