While I'm not entirely convinced whether super-ownership is a good idea
or not, I am pretty sure that rushing to get it into v10 is a bad idea.
This is a rather fundamental change in our permissions model and it
might turn out to have undesirable consequences.

Or even more directly: any patch for this would necessarily be landing
in the last v10 commitfest.  We have a project policy against major
changes showing up for the first time in the last fest of a cycle,
for good reasons.

Let's take our time and get it right.
