I pictured taking into account any impact the design might have on the
authentication API changes slated for 4.0, but don't necessarily see
the spec implemented for 4.0.  I've yet to carefully review the
proposal, but I assumed there would be some substantial API and
moreover protocol changes that would cause undesirable scope creep for
4.0.  I'm still in favor of a tight and short-cycle 4.0 release.

I've been holding off on a big merge for authentication API changes
until after a 3.5.1 release.  After that master will become the
primary branch for 4.0 development.

Possibly, but in my mind it's too soon to say.  I don't think we've
come to consensus on a design much less implementation.  Once we come
to consensus here, I'd like to invite some broader review of the
design outside the CAS community.  I think there's a lot of potential
here, and I'd like to get the design right such that it's simple yet
extensible, and thereby follows a similar pattern that has served us
well in the past.
