Any more comments from anyone on this? I'm really confused. I'd like to
believe Dmitry but my site seems to behave different from what he
claims. Is that my exotic configuration? Or was Dmitry just wrong about
FE access restrictions not being inherited? If so, how do I properly
check for inherited restrictions without having to climb up the tree
for every page myself?
