Authentication, enough already!

This topic has got way out of hand!!

We. the community, are not likely to agree on anything "auth" in the next decade.

Authentication, or whatever you chose to call it, will *not* be part of CI3 or likely CI4 - there are too many perspectives and opinions to reach consensus

Once we have a clearer vision for CI3 and CI4, and once clearer heads prevail, we *might* be able to revisit the issue, but only if we can remain civil and constructive while doing so.

I will close any threads that try to bring this up again as some soft of flamewar - there are too many other important issues that we, as a community, need to discuss and resolve!
