Read restrictions not support. Use the 'userCan' hook at your own risk though.
Changed resolution to LATER. I don't see any indication that this is ruled out absolutely in the future (and in fact, steps have been taken toward greater flexibility regarding per-user action restrictions).

Please submit patches against trunk. Patches against release versions such as 1.15.1 are useless because the many differences between 1.15.1 and trunk will cause the patch to not apply cleanly.

[Removing RESOLVED LATER as discussed in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064240.html . Reopening and setting priority to "Lowest". For future reference, please use either RESOLVED WONTFIX (for issues that will not be fixed), or simply set lowest priority. Thanks a lot!]
I'm not sure what this was about seven years ago, but we definitely have some 'read' restriction support these days, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_viewing_of_all_pages .
