I guess I wasn't clear--I'm not arguing against using AccountManagerPlugin.
I'm saying remove the logout link for the people that _are_ using HTTP Auth.
In practice, the logout link does nothing for them.

Or maybe a legacy requirement to use HTTP Auth? It doesn't matter what the
reason is--people continue to have reasons to use it. But even for the case
of ldap, or any other custom authentication provider/plugin, they could show
the logout link, as I mentioned. One of the fundamentals of Trac seems to be
giving people choices, so perhaps logout link visibility should just be a
configurable parameter for HTTP Auth (i.e. the case when no other providers
are configured), which a default of hidden.
