Why not deprecate the id entry then instead of forcing users to set
both to the same value?

BTW, I don't see that preemptive authentication makes things worse
regarding security because an attacker could answer with a 401 to get
the credentials even without preemptive authentication.

However, use of preemptive authentication introduced a regression for
us. Users had a server section in their settings.xml for our Nexus,
but we later changed Nexus to allow anonymous access. Without
preemptive authentication that worked because the unauthenticated
access was successful. With preemptive, users received a 403 because
the user/password combination wasn't valid any more.
