Rajith Attapattu commented on QPID-2541:
----------------------------------------

Continuing the discussion from QPID-2539,

I think there absolutely no value in a group mechanism that is not tied to 
authentication.
Infact I think it's a security loophole that can be exploited.

Also we need to be careful when adding features. 
Unless there is a demonstrable need for such changes we shouldn't be just 
adding features for the sake of it.
This is not say that we shouldn't allow a pluggable group mechanism, but to 
stress the point that it's not useful if it's not tied to the authentication 
mechanism.
