Hi,
I recently pushed a change to 2.1 and master that allows staff to mark a
patron as exempt from collections processing:
0e0026ad7a81812b1831433aedf12c6884a50c64. It's managed with a user
setting set in the patron editor. Not long after, though, I added a
permission to control who gets this power. The permission didn't come
along until after the 2.1 feature freeze, so I didn't back-port it. I'm
here to make the argument that, though this is not a bug fix per se,
lack of the permission 2.1 is a security concern that justifies the
back-port. It doesn't require a DB change, just some seed data.

If there are no objections, I'll back-port before the next 2.1 RC cut...
Thanks
