Why did you not use it for Identity ?
The reason I chose to install the IdentityFilter as part of the TurboGears startup rather than relying on developers to add it to the magic _cpFiltersList array is because the fewer things you have to change to enable or disable identity management the better.
Because the identity filter is part of the core TurboGears, all you have to do to turn it on is modify the config file. In the future, we may find a different way to handle validation of Identity rather than use a filter (I can't imagine how right now `though) and by abstracting the *way* that TurboGears implements identity checking we gain considerable flexibility.
I still have to address folks like yourself who have alternate model requirements -- there should be a way to tell the TurboGears identity module what model classes to use.
