Security, panes, and "greyed-out" portlets

Does jetspeed/turbine support a feature where users who have not been granted access to a portlet, get to see a disabled/greyed out version of the portlet.  Abstracting one layer -- the same with panes.  The user sees a tab for each pane but can only access those panes to which he has been authorized.

This would be particularly usefull in an environment where users subscribe to various portlets or entire groups of portlets (panes).  New features can be identified and displayed in the portal but unless the user subscribes to the new features ($$), the user can't use those features.

If so, could anybody shed some light on the approach?

We are currently developing this on a branch, titled security_14.  You 
are welcome to check out the branch.  We hope to merge this into the 
main code base soon, hopefully a few weeks.

Paul,

I'm rather interested with the features described on this proposal. I'm
just wondering, as it is titled "Portal Security 1.4", to when you plan
to release the first complete implementation.

Cheers,

Brad,
I am working on a replacement to the existing Jetspeed/Turbine security.

      You might want to review the security proposal, 
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-jetspeed/proposals/Security.tx
t?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup.

Brad,
I am working on a replacement to the existing Jetspeed/Turbine security. 
      You might want to review the security proposal,
