The original way of doing things was quite useful if you wanted some
people to be able to see history and others just see recent data. I
don't think many people are aware of or take advantage of that, so your
proposal does simplify things for many people.

Would it not be better to offer this as a table-level option, with
default of check-permission-on-parent-only?
