I wholeheartedly disagree. Yes, it is true that most of the issues I thought of can be fixed, and so those problems are not problems in a technical sense. But to me this whole discussion points to the greatest issue I have, which is that GRAPH_MOD is just too complicated to understand. And I don't like a solution that works on a technical level but that everybody is too afraid to touch because it's too weird. We have this discussion again and again, and in the end we always come up with something that looks like it might work, but it's just so weird that we can't even remember it. Maybe it's just me, though. Frankly, I think the permission system itself is already too complicated as it is, but I don't have a simpler solution there. Max
