I really did just mean for this to be a brainstorming thread... so could we 
add? Yeah, I guess we could add/change/etc anything in theory. Whether these 
things happen or not is another question and issue altogether (or more 
importantly how they happen, I do believe there's a chance for anything).

Anyway, when say "role based security" what does that mean to you? Could you 
describe some scenarios you'd like to see supported and maybe what the 
configuration might look like?
