           Summary: As well as ACLs for DBus calls, we need ACLs to filter
                    which handlers get channels
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: 5.7
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://cgit.collabora.co.uk/git/user/vivek/telepathy-m
                    ission-control/log/?h=builtin-aegis-acls
        OS/Version: All
            Status: ASSIGNED
          Keywords: patch
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: mission-control
        AssignedTo: vivek at collabora.co.uk

To paraphrase slightly:

“Currently, Mission Control checks a client's credentials when
 it requests a channel, and forbids clients without appropriate 
 credentials from making such requests if an ACL is interested 
 in the channel. But it does not check the credentials of clients
 to which it dispatches channels.”

We also need to move the aegis ACLs (if configured) to be builtins
rather than separate files (a requirement which emerges from the 
way aegis works)
