Having this makes sense to me, though it's a different thing than this
ticket (mostly).

I just want to say that I don't like the idea of some permissions inheriting
and others not. I think we should either have no inheritance, or everything
inherit. I know that going to everything inherit will cause some transition
pain, but I think it's much saner in the long run.
