He he :)

This isn’t meant as something we should have soon - it is meant as a goal to 
guide around the jcr login mechanism discussion.

One opinion is: ah, don’t care, once code is running in the JVM, consider 
everything exploited, so we can put JCR authentication and convenience 
mechanisms everywhere.

My opinion is: no, write that authentication code with a clear boundary in mind 
(JCR), sling/application level code can’t just login as anyone on JCR unless 
the internal repository authenticates it. So that later my above vision is 
simpler to reach. As a side effect, code and security configuration becomes 
clearer (having to configure authentication both in Sling and Jackrabbit is 
just confusing).

Otherwise I don’t even know why we removed the TrustedInfo in the first place.

Cheers,
Alex
