The initial PKRU value can currently be configured by the system administrator. I fear this approach has too many moving parts to be viable.Honestly, I think we should drop that option. I don’t see how we can expect an administrator to do this usefully.I don't disagree—it makes things way less predictable in practice.
I originally put that thing in there to make Andy happy with the initial permissions, and give us a way to back it out if something went wrong. I have no objections to removing it either.
