I'm for the "None" / "default" way, the change was because it sounded confusing to have the user write a list of authenticators and end up having a different one. Also disabling the default authenticator was more complex than it should have been. Going for the default/None way would provide the best of the two worlds.
As soon as Michael ends moving things to github I think we can merge the patch and include it in a future 2.2.1 release.
