This commit description is rather scarce...

I understand you are trying to fix a CVE, but we shouldn't play
the "security by obscurity" card. How can the community and
distributions know this security fix is enough with the bare
"Remove change action from MSI installer" justification?
Can't we do better?

Please refer to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2167423.
It should now be accessible.

This patch is part of the fix. I remove the 'change' button because
the installer has no components to choose from and the installer
always installs everything.

The second patch removes the interactive command shell.

Yes, commit messages should always describe the problem being
solved directly. Bug trackers usually make people wade through
piles of irrelevant comments & potentially misleading blind
alleys during the back & forth of triage. The important info
needs to be distilled down and put in the commit message,
concisely describing the problem faced. Bug tracker links have
been known to bit-rot too.

The commit message needs to focus on /why/ the change was made,
much more than describing /what/ was changed.
