+\subsection BetterNews Better News
+
+In the latest versions of PostgreSQL, some have been made in the area of
+security, particularly with respect to security functions and ensuring
+that untrusted functions may not leak data that should be hidden.
+
+Note that there are likely to be costs associated with some of these
+improvements, as the query engine will apply untrusted functions later
+in the query execution plan.  If those untrusted functions are used to
+significantly reduce the size of a dataset, moving their execution to
+later in the plan may have an adverse effect on performance.  For this
+reason, you should test and benchmark and decide for yourself whether
+there is a performance hit, and whether the value of improved security
+is worth any measured loss of performance.
+
+You are also advised to follow the progress of Row Level Security
+support in later versions of Postgres, as this may obviate your need for
+Veil.
