Hi folks, I've decided to go ahead and make a GSoC proposal out of the discussion around auth.User replacement. I'd love to contribute to this and carry through my ideas to their conclusion, even if this proposal is shot down.
The proposal in full is at https://gist.github.com/2304321. I will continue to keep that up to date as long as the proposal has breath left in it. To Adrian specifically: You have indicated on this list that you are eager to have at this problem yourself, and that may make this proposal a non-starter. I think we are very much on the same page in terms of technical direction and end goals of the refactoring: I want to make this change as conservative as possible from a technical standpoint, but document, test and validate it as much as possible from the community's standpoint. I think we have strong motivation for the specific decisions we agreed on, and they give the project enough direction that it will rapidly become obvious if and when I am derailing your conception of what needs to be done, so I hope you will consider letting it be done as a GSoC project.
