The corresponding section reads as follows:

Does this say, that in further releases the access to plain files in ~/. 
might change while ~/pub is granted to stay 0775?

> Files that should not be readable by others should be put in ~/priv/, 
whereas public files will be put in ~/pub/. Other files will initially 
be accessible, but may be blocked as needed.    

Does this mean, files in ~/pub cannot made read protected as opposed to 
files in ~/. ?

Okay, files in ~/pub may be set to 777, then?

this is a remaining comment, I guess?
