the default value of enable-local-eval will query the user,
which is mostly safe, just noisy and confusing and somewhat
prone to error, since it uses y-or-n-p which thinks that
space is yes.
I'm not sure gnus should be overriding user settings like
this, but I can't imagine a sane reason anyone would want to
enable-local-eval anyway. so, yeah.
