> With the addition of pluggable authentication/authorizor/permissions handler
> modules (ACCUMULO-259), it seems we should rely more on these modules to set
> their policy for who has which permissions.
> As such, I don't believe we should continue to constrain the System.GRANT
> permission, so that it is held only by the root user. This is an especially
> important consideration for ACCUMULO-1300, because in that ticket, there will
> always be a "local" root user, but there's no reason that should be the
> de-facto account that manages other users' permissions from.
