I need some more information before giving an opinion.
Same as Sergiu I'd like some explanations as to where this would be used. Does
it mean all page content writers will need to manually call
$doc.dropPermissions() whenever they want to make their document "secure"? That
seems very cumbersome and we can be sure people won't do that.
So what use cases does this solve?
Thanks
