Comment 3 for bug 1374570

I wasn't trying to say that "nothing is going to change", just giving some idea of the landscape of possible designs.

Consider Online Accounts. Besides notifications, they are the other big thing where an app's ability to use them can be toggled externally (and I've just discovered they're controlled by trust-store). Now, we could put Online Accounts inside "Security & Privacy", alongside Camera and Microphone ... but people wouldn't think of them as a security/privacy thing, so they'd be hard to find there. Alternatively, we could promote Camera and Microphone to the top level of System Settings, alongside Online Accounts ... but that would be giving high prominence to settings that are neither frequent nor urgent. So that's an example of where frequency/urgency trumps logical grouping.

A smaller possible change would be to abolish "Other app access", hoisting its contents up alongside Location inside "Security & Privacy". Location, Contacts, Camera, Microphone, etc. What do you think?
