Personally, just for what it's worth, I've been enabling eval only for
certain files I know I want, according to their filename.  (By
re-running hack-local-variables in find-file-hooks with
enable-local-eval suitably bound).

For me it's not just a case of what the eval contains, for instance
sometimes I want time-stamp updating (because a file belongs to me)
but usually not (because I'll be submitting a diff somewhere and don't
want to include a spurious change).
