The main issue I have with that patch is that the various controls and
their use is still rather undocumented - and the use seems more like
'add controls until it works'.  

Also, controls are not the preferred way to handle this any more -
another undocumented change that you may not be aware of is that Tridge
and I are trying to move more of this kind of thing to per-element
flags.  That makes it much clear which exact thing must be allowed - but
these are only set from ldb modules at the moment. 

I just think we might need to do some more refinement on a design here.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
