[db-wg] Proposal: Abuse-C as a Reference

Hello *,

Since no one commented on that yet, i'd like to ask your opinion on 
something i 'sneaked' into my proposal, which is not directly related to 
the abuse-c problem, but more of Security in the Database itself:

It is the reference protection in person/role/mnt.

> person:        [mandatory]  [single]     [lookup key]
> [...]
> ref-nfy:       [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]           <--
> mnt-ref:       [optional]   [multiple]   [ ]                     <--

Is it useful for someone else than me, to protect this objects from 
unsolicited reference in an other object?

This behavior currently only exists for mnt-irt and org (with slightly 
different implementations though).

I'd like to at leas know, or moreover have to acknoledge, when someone 
wants to put me in as admin-c/tech-c/.... somewhere (esp. when I denote 
something of security relevance in there). Currently this is only 
possible by regularly searhing the database (afaik).

any opinions on that?
