-1 to remove it.
** I don’t think we’re using that information much and its need is supposed

I will agree to remove it when signed scripts will be there.
** There’s no way to force pages requiring PR to add such an XObject and
thus it’s not done consistently
but it _could_ be done. If an application developer would like to do it,
they should be able to do it.
** We don’t even have a page listing all pages requiring PR and even if we
had one I’m not exactly what it would bring. I guess the idea was to make
it simpler to install/upgrade XWiki but we’ve fixed this already in the
Wiki Creation Wizard for example so the need is less now.
There are extensions that use it, like Admin Tools:

Hi devs,
In xwiki-enteprise we have XWiki.RequiredRightClass. We’ve started
discussing it in the past in the “Split XE pages” mail thread and I’d like
to move forward.
So we need to decide what to do about it. Several options:
* We discussed moving it to xwiki-platform-administration but it shouldn’t
go there IMO since we’re trying to make this module almost empty (just
providing the extension points mechanism) and have admin features
dispatched in the modules providing them. Also it would mean forcing
unnecessary dependencies on xwiki-platform-administration from several
modules (6-7 right now).
* It could go in a new xwiki-platform-security-ui module.
* It could be moved to Java but we don’t have a clear policy nor decision
if we want to favor xclasses written in java or opposite, decide that we
don’t want that and move away from XClasses in Java. So we’d need to decide
this first.
* We could also simply remove it! Rationale:
** I don’t think we’re using that information much and its need is
supposed to go away once signed scripts is there
** There’s no way to force pages requiring PR to add such an XObject and
thus it’s not done consistently
** We don’t even have a page listing all pages requiring PR and even if we
had one I’m not exactly what it would bring. I guess the idea was to make
it simpler to install/upgrade XWiki but we’ve fixed this already in the

So overall I’m more in favor of dropping this experiment which IMO wasn’t
very successful.
WDYT?
Thanks
