I think it's a bug if a user can read every file the pootle user can.
Think of /etc/passwd and such files.

While the fact that the pootle user can read it is not a problem, if an
anonymous user can, that's heavily problematic IMHO.

Only admin can change the project settings, and so every user
cannot do this.

Moeover the system will only index and display .po and
.xlf files, so even if user is providing a link to /etc, nothing will
be displayed if that directory don't have any .po/.xlf files
