Good rant. My thinking is the same. I hadn't included mnethostid, but it makes sense.
Beyond a huge effort, I worry about what happens with
- upgrades -- how to we map the authinstance to the old user record?
- the forced (and somewhat fake) simplicity of our login screen
Note here that forced simplicity is a feature. Fake simplicity, OTOH.
Our goals are beautifully correct. And we'll sit alone in the tower of correctness, while users refuse to deal with a login screen that requires training.
