[split] Auto library

Just as a further, real-world, example of why this doesn't work...

Everyone seems to point at other frameworks like Laravel having Auth built-in. I have worked on several projects built in Laravel and not once did the built-in Auth have enough features to truly work. I believe all of those projects went with Sentry instead, and even then it had to be modified for at least one project I was on. And even then, there are security-related aspects of the auth that no popular pre-built Auth package that I've seen attempts to address, like protection from Brute-force attacks, distributed brute force attacks and the like. And while nothing can protect you 100%, there are things that can be done to make your site more secure than these libraries provide.

Short answer - Laravel's claims to having Auth built-in is a marketing ploy at best, since it's too simple to be usable in most real-world projects. Same with some of it's other built-in toys, like Cashier.
