I have some concerns about the "closed" installation
and security also. I like to use plain Berkeley UNIX
protection where I can, but I've read and heard various
reports that some of the system files and directories
are protected by extended or "unusual" ACLs, and should be left
alone, lest we break things.

Is "chmod -R o-w" really going to wreak havoc somewhere?
