You know it’s an interesting discussion thread on keystone when both Termie and I are watching, chuckling, and grimacing in remembered pain …

Finding sensible solutions for those issues is crucial in order for people to adopt Fernet. In Mitaka we had a lot of discussion that resulted in landing several performance related patches. As of today, we're already focusing on scalability, performance, and simplicity. I'm afraid a project split would only delay the work we're doing right now.

I'm not sure that this is entirely true. If we truly just split up the project, meaning we don't remove functionality, then we'd have the same number of bugs and work. It would just be split across two projects. I think the current momentum to get out of the authn business is still our best bet. As Steve mentioned this is ongoing work. -- David What everyone else said... but add in the need then to either pass the AuthN over to the Assignment/AuthZ api or bake it in (via apache module?) and we are basically where we are now. Steve alluded to splitting out the authentication bit (but not to a new service), the idea there is to make it so AuthN is not part of the CRUD interface of the server. All being said, AuthN and AuthZ are going to be hard to split into two separate services and with exception of the unfounded "scope" benefit, we already can handle most of what you've proposed with zero changes to Keystone.
