Comment (by mtredinnick):

 Would be backwards incompatible. I know we've said "contrib" has an
 exception from the backwards compatibility guarantee, but we still
 shouldn't make changes like this without strong reason, particularly in
 something as heavily used as the authentication area. We fail safe here
 (don't let anybody in if things are raised), so it's only a
 diagnostic/debugging issue, not a functionality one.

 I'm pretty close to -1 on making this change at the moment. It's
 unfortunate, but not that harmful to leave it as is.
