I was wondering what the current status of pluggable authorization was - I'm currently contemplating hacking up 1.4's ZKAuthenticator in order to do pluggable authorization for ACL's, and was curious if there was any work on just that aspect that could be backported (or perhaps my work could be forward-ported if work on that area hasn't been started yet).
I didn't notice much activity on ACCUMULO-259, although it looks like John has been diligently working on some Kerberos experiments in his Github account.
