----------------------------------------
bq. https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-filevault/pull/272 doesn't have
reviewers
This is superseded by https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-filevault/pull/294
bq. Is it true that
https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-filevault/pull/294/files doesn't have any
test case?
No, lots of ITs have been added
(https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-filevault/pull/294/files#diff-038077103e482e4a69670d008bbd1c150aab6edb9c6cb2d8e531940b094170e9)
bq. In general, I think that most bugfixes should come with "circuit breakers"
Well in this case I don't think it is necessary but if you want to add a toggle
please enrich the PR.

> Key: JCRVLT-683
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-683
> Project: Jackrabbit FileVault
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Packaging
> Affects Versions: 3.6.6
> Reporter: Mark Adamcin
> Assignee: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.6.10
>
>
> For situations where an authorizable node may be distributed from another
> environment where a different rep:principalPolicy for the user is defined
> than exists for that user in the target environment, it is important that the
> existing rep:principalPolicy be preserved when acHandling is unset,
> acHandling=IGNORE, or acHandling=MERGE_PRESERVE.
> Currently, the effective behavior of such a package install, as [it appears
> to be implemented in
> DocViewImporter|https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-filevault/blob/5f9657374bd6c2d3dd1f6e9e2be0b9f5b25ddc26/vault-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/vault/fs/impl/io/DocViewImporter.java#L782-L787],
> results in the following:
> * If the package specifies acHandling=IGNORE, the existing
> rep:principalPolicy is deleted without replacement, regardless of whether the
> package contains its own rep:principalPolicy, which is equivalent to
> *acHandling=CLEAR*
> * If the package specifies acHandling=MERGE_PRESERVE or MERGE, the existing
> rep:principalPolicy is replaced with whatever rep:principalPolicy is
> contained in the package, or deletes the policy if a replacement is not
> present, which is equivalent to *acHandling=OVERWRITE*
> Unexpectedly, the least destructive (and most default) acHandling mode
> (IGNORE) turns out to be as destructive to packaged system user permissions
> as choosing any other mode.
