Yes, I had tried some automanual solutions, like a cron which dumps
the source _security object into the destination object, but they have
issues:

1) Not being under MVCC makes it really hard to use in a real two-way
replication scheme where changes to access control are possible in
either place.
2) If you create a brand new DB with protected data, and it gets
replicated, your second copy is unprotected until the _security cron
kicks in, which, depending on you definition, can be thought of as a
security hole.
