Hi,

I agree (as is clear in the report) that the design is coming at the problem in 
the wrong way. It seems to be the old style "there are lots of useful features 
available in the back-end tools, we should have an UI for them" school of 
thought. But that's not the point.

The point is that when we receive a patch, we expect developers to review the 
patch and suggest improvements. In this case, the owners of the settings design 
have received a "patch" to the sharing settings design, and it hasn't been 
reviewed by them.

With all due respect to your design skills, it's entirely possible that all 
your suggestions (and mine) get taken on board, and the design will still be 
rejected. The best way to avoid that is to have maimtainers review submissions.

Cheers,
Dave.
