--------------------------------------------------------------
So there is a chicken-egg situation here (with respect to permissions): no one
can assess the impact of the change without some kind of extra work in their
test environments and you can't preserve permissions with patches. I would say
that is a fail..
The way to get around this, and save you (and others) a lot of work, is to
commit your changes to a separate dev branch. The impact is large enough. And
you - as a privileged contributor - have the mandate to create one. Those who
want to test your changes then just have to execute and update to get the
latest revision. On the plus side there is then also the aspect of being able
to reference revisions when it comes to reporting findings.
