I am not a fan of binfmt_misc. Please hear me out.. This introduces the same framework for future vulnerabilities that Microsoft introduced long ago by having the system interrogate file type associations. This turned into easy mode for attackers to trick people into executing malicious files on their system. This has not happened _yet_ in Linux AFAIK, but this sets the framework for it.
In Windows, you can see this mapping by opening a command prompt and typing:
assoc
It was common practice for some time to change VBS mapping to text, along with several other file types.
In my opinion, we are bringing a dangerous behavior into systems that could one day be commonly used as desktops.
