Permissions.
  1. It added tons of small scale permissions (like per-file read permissions) instead of wildcarding

The new version fixes both of these problems. And it's GPLed. Now off to pick the right source repository... [Ockham's Flashlight]

Hi Stu...one point here -- generating lots of small scale permissions is the point!  See erights.org.  But...if you know that substantially all of the permissions in a category are being used (like all of them), then I guess a wildcard is OK.  Wait -- it's not.  The reason is that in the future, you may be granting a permission, due to the wildcard, that you really didn't mean to.

Stay small, stay granular.
