Mike Müller commented on SLING-2698:
------------------------------------

The use case of the minimal resource access gate is NOT a new security layer or 
a replacement of ACLs. Here some real world use cases where ResourceAccessGate 
implementation can make sense:
* locking down a whole website for testing purposes (before going online) -> 
only logged in users should see the website (no matter what login they use)
* giving access to a resource only from Monday to Friday from 8.00am to 5pm

Such use cases do not interfere with JCR-ACLs at all. In addition it woul dbe 
much easier to implement such a rule if we have different ResourceProviders 
(maybe JCR and also a FileProvider).
