Here's mine, for a future version of Zope:

	What would be nice is an installation/launching option
for Zope's security to be set to maximum security by default, i.e.
anonymous wouldn't even have the View permission by default, and the admin
would have to manually set the anonymous permissions.

kind of like the ALL: PARANOID in /etc/hosts.deny and and no hosts.allow
file.

	What would be even better is that such a thing doesn't appear in
Zope before I understand completely how the permission system really work
;-)
