Hello Whiskers!

I wanted to bring up a potentially breaking change to existing functionality 
for the KindRestrictor. Given how recently this functionality was added, I do 
not expect this to affect others. However, I would like to have any concerns or 
objections raised with the group sooner than later.


First, to give a little backstory. Previously, a feature was 
added<https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/3661> to support 
limiting the kinds that were allowed to be used when creating actions for a 
given namespace, as well as support for setting a default whitelist for the 
overall system. In the initial feature the whitelist set per namespace (if 
present) was used instead of the default whitelist.


Now, I have opened a PR to adjust this 
logic<https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/4114>, such that the 
explicit namespace limit for allowedKinds is viewed as a complement to the 
default system whitelist (if present). I have provided additional specifics in 
the PR description including reasoning behind the need for this change.


Cheers,

Andy
