I didn't have time to read the list last week. As I think I said, it all depends upon the circumstances. If you're doing web hosting for a few thousand users who are independent of each other, I'm not sure what you could do better either because I haven't tried to work out anything for that situation except .htaccess (that was in a university setting so we were pretty open). If, however, you've got a few developers working toward eventual deployment of a corporate site to production, you should be able to tighten controls and eliminate .htaccess files while moving from development to QA and then production. Hard to say much more without knowing more about your environment, and even then I might not have that much to add if I haven't worked on a solution for an environment similar to yours before.
