 What I mean is not a redesign of how per-site security settings should
 work but we thought about making site-specitic settings _as they are
 available today_ accessible. Ideas we had were outlined in section 2.2 of
 the proposal. Do we still think we should do that or something similar (I
 am not talking about redesigning our slider as you e.g. suggested in
 comment:33)? Or do we think just taking the buttons of the toolbar and
 requiring for folks to add them manually if needed is enough?

 their toolbar by `Menu > Customize...`

 Yes, mentioning it in our release post is definitely a thing we should do.
 I was wondering whether there is more we could/should do here, though.
