What would you say if someone asked you to try to make this new RBAC feature generic/extensible such that applications/layered products could plug into it and use it for their own authorization purposes? Not only to allow to hook into the roles, but also be able to attach custom external (app-specific) entities to the roles so third party apps could use the roles and attach their own concept of "resources" or other entities to the roles?

I'm looking for an answer other than !@#$% ;) (sorry, couldn't resist)
