Why is an authentication plugin mismatch (as in the list of plugins

For example if I have AuthServer = Srp256,Srp,Legacy_Auth and the
client only tries Srp224, then the error returned to the client is
Error occurred during login, please check server firebird.log for
details [SQLState:08006, ISC error code:335545106]
With entry in the log:

Authentication error
No matching plugins on server
Why is the error "Authentication error" + "No matching plugins on
server" not reported back to the client?
Because it's bad idea to open to client (specially not authenticated)
details of problems with authentication.
I agree with that in general, but in this specific case I don't see the
need for that. Communicating about a mismatch in plugins between server
and client is not a risk and it can simplify troubleshooting a lot.
