Thank you Rick for bringing up this issue.
1) If the customer has written their own security policy file (the
usual and recommended situation), then the customer will need to add
some extra permissions to that policy file.
The need to change the policy file at the end user site is one of the
most disruptive upgrade requirements and I feel will discourage or cause
problems with upgrade, so I think should be done incrementally. Perhaps
we could have a strong warning for 10.4 and then make the policy file
change a requirement for 10.5. Of course one could argue that delaying
the pain would just mean more users are likely to be hit, so it will
be interesting to see what the feedback from others is.
