+<listitem><para>Revert erroneous changes in rule permissions checking</para>
+<para>A patch applied in 7.3.3 to fix a corner case in rule permissions checks
+turns out to have disabled rule-related permissions checks in many
+not-so-corner cases. This would for example allow users to insert into views
+they weren't supposed to have permission to insert into. We have therefore
+reverted the 7.3.3 patch. The original bug will be fixed in 7.5.
