Currently, the '<a href="https://bitshares.org/technology/price-stable-cryptocurrencies/">smartcoin</a>' market pegged assets (MPA) (such as <a href="https://cryptofresh.com/a/USD">bitUSD</a>, <a href="https://cryptofresh.com/a/EUR">bitEURO</a>, <a href="https://cryptofresh.com/a/CNY">bitCNY</a>, etc) which are managed by the <a href="http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/user/committee.html">BTS committee</a> have several MPA permissions which are slightly concerning. None of these permissions are currently active, but they have not been surrendered (so a future committee could potentially implement them).

These permissions are:
* ***white_list***: Accounts must be white-listed in order to hold this asset
* ***override_authority***: Issuer may transfer asset back to himself
* ***transfer_restricted***: Require the issuer to be one party to every transfer
* ***disable_confidential***: Allow the asset to be used with confidential transactions

The <a href="https://cryptofresh.com/a/GRIDCOIN">'GRIDCOIN' MPA</a> was the first MPA to surrender the above permissions!

I don't see any reason why the committee should maintain these inactive permissions, do you?
