Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-6160:
--------------------------------------

At the risk of confusing your good summary, Rick, where would that leave the 
hard-coded properties for file visibility control? They are sort of both in 
category (i) and (iii), that is, they are (i) if you use the new file 
permission restriction feature (optional, but default for server started from 
command line).

But you could also argue they are (iii), since you can switch off the feature 
that needs them. Also the (iii) characteristic "You can omit these permissions 
in order to tighten your security" doesn't apply to to them; it's more a 
trade-off: allowing reading of some properties, to achieve a greater good: 
limiting file permissions.

 I think I'd prefer to portray these as category (i). What do you think?

> I am not sure of the context under which it is required if it is just needed.
