Edo, I was going to write a KIP for this next week :-) I was thinking along the same lines as Harsha, i.e., enable multiple LoginManagers to co-exist in a JVM. The multi-user login module in MessageHub made sense at the time to overcome the limitation in Kafka, without changing Kafka itself. But for the KIP, it would be better to have a solution that supports multiple users for any SASL mechanism.
