  I wanted to merge this patch but this hunk caught my eye. Why do we
suddently allow querying of project quotas? Traditionally that has been
allowed only with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. I agree it looks too restrictive to me but
unless that's a bug, I think we have to adhere to original behavior and
drop this hunk. Dave, was that behavior of project quotas intended?
