 Status: Pending => Deferred

While the permission names may very well be inconsistent, they form the de facto API for Zope 2.5.  

Altering existing permission names breaks the implicit contract with third party modules which share the same permission names.

This is still a legitimate issue, but it cannot be easily addressed in the near term on a maintenance cycle; instead,a new release or new version of the product will be required to synchronize permission names.

This change is DEFERRED until such time as the security machinery is overhauled; this may not happen in the 2.X Zope lifetime.

The names of permissions in the ZMI vary in their
capitalization style. Some have every first letter 
capitalized; others have only the first letter of
the first word capitalized. This should be standardized.
