--------------------------------------------------------------
So there is a chicken-egg situation here (triggered by this permissions
aspect): no one can assess the impact of the change without some kind of extra
work in their test environments and you can't preserve permissions with
patches. I would say that is a fail..
The way to get around this, and save you (and others) a lot of work, is to
commit your changes to a separate dev branch. The impact is large enough. And
you - as a privileged contributor - have the mandate to create one. Those who
want to test your changes then just have to execute an update of the check-out
to get the latest revision. On the plus side there is then also the aspect of
being able to reference revisions when it comes to reporting findings.
