None.  It is unrealistic (and generally unusable) to have UNIX
directory permissions without the execute bit (S_IX*).  The only
reason to do it would be to have an 'archive' directory of sorts, in
which users may see names of children, but none of their permissions
or contents.

As has been noted, the only reason it's worked thus far is that most
people either change the default or run the daemon as root, for whom
those permissions aren't really a limiting factor.
