Last week we encountered a bug that took us a few days to fix. We had accidentally named an nt:folder node config and non-admin users didn't have read access to its children. Interestingly this node name had been chosen by one of our CQ5 experts. After struggling for hours and tearing apart all our provisioning scripts, the same person who had caused the bug had a light-bulb moment and remembered that CQ5 treats nodes named config in a special manner.
Had the node been rendered with a special icon in CQ5, it would have probably saved us a couple of days (and a few thousand dollars) worth of investigations.
As such I think CQ5 should render special nodes with special icons that instantly convey the message that, well, they are special.
Thanks in advance.
PLUS: My profile's activity page has not been updated in the past couple of months or so. Also a couple of the messages I had recently posted have vanished from the forum. Please fix!
