Thanks for responding. Good to read that the simplification is not interpreted
as feature loss.

The "Allow changes from Nobody" locks a list: you cannot add, but you cannot
delete too. (A contents change is an add or a delete.) Some people may find it
comfortable that the list is protected from accidental/incidental changes.

The combination of Private and "Anyone seeing" is indeed a bit confusing
(altough still true). Might add a follow-up or a new report for it.

Sharing in the staff client certainly is a new report. I can at least open one
to get some more feedback.
