Problem/Motivation
We need to reach a decision about how to handle field permissions in the Fields in Core patch. One important place this will be needed is when we try to port Profile fields to the new system, since some of them will need permission control.
Proposed resolution
The decision has been postponed.
Remaining tasks
We need to reach a decision at some point. Preferably, this would be soon enough so we can get it into d8.
User interface changes
A UI for field permissions would need to be added.
API changes
None.
