want to use reconfiguration feature but
don't want the overhead of configuring an explicit list of
authorized user for reconfig access checks,
they can set <ulink

> ZOOKEEPER-2014 changed the behavior of the /zookeeper/config node by setting
> the ACL to {{ZooDefs.Ids.READ_ACL_UNSAFE}}. This change makes it very
> cumbersome to use the reconfig APIs. It also, perversely, makes security
> worse as the entire ZooKeeper instance must be opened to "super" user while
> enabled reconfig (per {{ReconfigExceptionTest.java}}). Provide a mechanism
> for savvy users to disable this ACL so that an application-specific custom
> ACL can be set.
