I think this is a very sensible proposal.

I think though that expressly setting the defaults to 
be  OSFunctionThreatLevel = VeryLow and then providing overrides that 
are beyond that is misleading.

I would prefer the default setting to be at an agreed level.. and 
then provide the individual lines afterwards explicitly to reflect 
that setting.

But a related issue is the awkward fitting of some perhaps commonly 
useful and likely to be helpful to be provided by default functions 
and their mapping to OSSL threat levels, so a simple decision on 
which level to allow is not easy. Does this need a recheck and fresh 
look while this change is begin discussed?

Which functions do people REALLY need to assume are there unless 
grids need to lock down thongs more.

The default of OSSL being on with a choice of the level that is set 
by default still, of course as Mister Blue pointed out, leaves it 
open for any grid manager/owner to decide to be more restrictive 
where that meets their own requirements.
