Create Replica on Server Access Change?

For the last maybe 8 to 10 years or so we have had the a type of field population for on the Domino server documents for non-admin access users to create replicas and templates on the server, but not copies of apps on the server.
It has worked well until Domino R9.

Basically the fields used to be:

Create Databases:
LocalDomainServers
LocalDomainAdmins
MyCompanyStaff

Create Replicas:
LocalDomainServers
LocalDomainAdmins
MyCompanyStaff
MyCompanyUsers

Create Master Templates:
LocalDomainServers
LocalDomainAdmins
MyCompanyStaff
MyCompanyUsers

With this access settings, the user could do File --> New Replica to the server, but not File --> Application --> New Copy.
With R9, this seems to have broken. The documentation does NOT mention the feature changing. However, one page does mention that replication field is subservient to the Create Databases field.

"Controlling creation of database, replicas, and templates" - no mention that Create Replica field now sub-option to the Create Database field.
"Rolling out a database" - no mention that Create Replica field now sub-option to the Create Database field.
"Server document - Security tab" - confirms the new functionality and also confirms it's true of the Create Templates field, as well.

Table section from the document w/in the IBM Administration Help documentation:

Create databases & templates	Enter the names of users, servers, and groups who are allowed to create new databases and create and update database templates on the server.
Create new replicas	Enter the names of users, servers, and groups who are allowed to create new database replicas on the server. Note that servers, users, and groups who are not allowed to create new databases on the server (see above) cannot create replicas.
Create master templates	Enter the names of users, servers, and groups who are allowed to create master database templates on the server. Note that servers, users, and groups who are not allowed to create new databases on the server (see above) cannot create master templates.
