Comment (by mjtamlyn):
What would be the proposed solution here? The client should ideally retain
the ability to do most of these things. Unless I'm mistaken,
`contrib.auth` does not need to be installed for the client to function
properly for general requests. I guess these are "optional" features of
the client which are enabled when contrib.auth is available. It would be
pretty awkward if you had to customise the client every time you wanted to
use this functionality.
Obviously if the general functionality of the client doesn't work without
`auth` then we have a problem we should fix. It may also be worth
considering providing an 'auth-less' version of the test client.
