Despite the fact that I just spent a month or more reworking Roller's
user/permissions management system (http://tinyurl.com/28br55 is now
in trunk), I don't have an immediate requirement for private/protected
weblogs or weblog entries and I don't think any of the other
contributors do either.  I *do* think these are important features,
but I just don't have a requirement for them right now.

So, if you really want protected/private blog posts, you might have to
push pretty hard for it, i.e. look at the source code, understand the
permission system, propose & discuss some solution(s) and if that goes
well develop a patch.
