But how would adding "unconfined" on new account creation solve the
problem who already have accounts on the system? There's no way for us
to show an appropriate error message to the user, asking them to delete
their account and create a new one, because there's no way to
differentiate this error from a general system permissions problem. Why
can't the extension treat "unconfined" as the same as an empty ACL here?
It seems like this would be the best immediate solution, to me.
