I suspect the biggest improvements here will come with pattern cards.  wql for permissions would help (I think that's ticketed). Yup, in expose card metadata in cards.

Permissions will actually be fully in cards. The metadata is only relevant if those cards hinge on a WQL solution, which we should design. If, for example, we accomplished some of the metadata as a virtual card, you could only access them in wql with append/prepend.

close? (as duplicate of setting-ize permission)

yeah, I think so. I mean, there will be some semi-separate work in reworking config pages and stuff, but that could easily be wrapped in with the settingize ticket, no?
