Access Client Solutions - Possibility to specify IncludeComps instead of ExcludeComps in the properties file Merged

In the AcsConfig.properties file it is possible to exclude specific components for Access Client Solutions (ACS) using
com.ibm.iaccess.ExcludeComps
but this leaves the risk that if new components are implemented in ACS then they will be enabled for the users even though they should not have access to the new features.
I'm missing a
com.ibm.iaccess.IncludeComps option so it is possible at the time of implementation to specify that the users have access to specific features and nothing else in the future.


Use Case:

With this line

com.ibm.iaccess.IncludeComps=EMULATOR,SPLF

the user has access to 5250 Display/Print emulation and Printer Output and nothing else.
If new components are implemented in ACS in the future they will not accidentally get access to them. They still only have access to emulator and spool files.
