[development] D6 Node Access, Was: D7 small survey: listing of node types at /node/add

[Steven Jones]

Oh node access stuff, what joy!

It's very cool that D6 supports this kind of menu override, I tried to
follow the D6 dev cycle along, but didn't have time to contribute, I
was wondering if any other node access related stuff got into D6, or
do we still have the slightly stick mess of D5?
