IIUC, this requires manual configuration of the security workspace. Isn't that 
a bit onerous - 15-20 lines of XML vs. one?

In other words, I think this should be configured in the <Security> section of 
repository.xml, not <Workspace> as it is a property of the security subsystem.

> As discussed in this thread: 
> http://sling.markmail.org/thread/st52jejjuxykfxtj, the security workspace is, 
> by default, configured with an AccessControlProvider which provides a fixed 
> access control policy (i.e. 
> o.a.j.core.security.user.UserAccessControlProvider). In order to prevent 
> anonymous access to security-related nodes requires the use of an alternate 
> AccessControlProvider.
> The attached patch provides a simpler mechanism. By adding
> <param name="anonymousAccessToSecurityWorkspace" value="false" />
> to the configuration of the DefaultSecurityManager, anonymous access to the 
> security workspace is forbidden.
