Please note that in order to address the use case that we (Stanford) have
for this feature, limiting volume policy changes to a single cell-wide
list is exactly what we need.  Anything more generous will not actually
address the problem unless it can be configured to be functionally
equivalent to that.  So while I would have no objections to something more
complicated, such as something that allows a custom policy ACL to be
associated with each volume, it's both not necessary for our use case and
needs to be reduced to a single cell-wide list at our site to work the way
that we want it to work.
