Exotic? 
I am a developer and run several different flavors of Linux for testing.
I have done this for years for files accessible to all flavors.

If the file ownership and permissions are OK, I think I should be able 
to access them by default. Apparmor seems to be configured to 
another default - deny access to my owned files if not under $HOME.
Is this a good default?
