My approach was to remove all significant permissions (including on the
catalog) from public and regrant them to a pseudopublic group,
comprising designated users. The designated users would notice no
difference at all, while everyone else would be able to see only what
was explicitly granted to them. But there would be lots of testing and
thinking to be done before releasing it into the wild :-)
