Comment (by sysrqb):

 An aside, external storage permissions:

 {{{
 modify or delete the contents of your SD card
 read the content of your SD card
 }}}

 These permissions are used for updating (#26574), and for saving files:
 "Set Image As" saves the image on the external storage, "Save Image"
 (currently broken, #26317), video and audio capture. We can come back to
 this.

 Remaining permissions (in addition to above external storage permissions):

 {{{
 full network access

 automatically launch at start up

 draw over other apps

 control vibrations
 prevent device from sleeping

 install shortcuts
 uninstall shortcuts
 }}}
