AIUI Services is not trying to be "Big Brother" and is there to provide 
protection to users as well as assistance to those that run the network so 
I don't really see such a thing becoming an option. 

Why would you want to manage the access list of somebody else's channel 
anyway? 

I think if you had and used the power you would find affected channels 
would swiftly relocate. 

Look at the currently available support to remove the ability of users to 
register channels. In such an environment a services admin/root would have 
to register channels on demand so a services admin/root would become 
founder and would have full rights to the access list. See CSEnableRegister 
in modules.conf for more information.
