In general the svn history is quite useful for understanding old and 
complex code. But browser/utils.py isn't that old and that complex so I 
think it would be fine if you just add the correct svn properties.

I usually disable the preferences action completely and use 
change_password and change_email actions instead. But I was never in the 
mood to start a discussion about the CMFDefault policy.

Don't understand these questions. First you talk about the user folder 
and than about user's home folders. What kind of security settings are 
you looking for?
