I agree with most of these, however the permissions infrastructure *itself* is 
still used for user-level authorization (at least in WildFly/JBoss middleware, 
and I would assume other places as well). Part of this infrastructure does rely 
on `AllPermission` and its `PermissionCollection`. I don't see a reason to 
deprecate `AllPermission` before deprecating `Permission` itself.
