You misunderstand, I'm not talking about the bug title (which excellently
describes the proposed change) but the change itself.  Changing the permission
to *anything* other than what it currently is is a breaking change that will
require sysadmins to update their configurations, or cause friction between
them and their users if they forget to do so.  As such, it should only be done
if there is a pressing need for it.  Given that the permission key name is only
ever exposed accompanied by either documentation or an explanation of what it
does, I don't think such a pressure exists.
