While true... we have a long time to worry about that. In the meantime,
having to deal with sentinels can be a distraction from what is needed for
1.0. When different backends arrive, then we can examine other mechanisms
for authorization (which may include introducing a sentinels-like system).

IMO, not always. It can be awfully distracting sometimes. Personally, I'd
rather spend time on 1.0 than discussing post-1.0 items.

OTOH, I don't approve of censoring or hard rules about mailing list content.
So that puts me in a quandary :-)
