[TurboGears] Re: Is Identity too much? I think so.

[Jeff Watkins]

I know you already understand this, but I feel compelled to answer anyway, because some might not: if you are using a text field to specify your login credentials (user_id AKA user_name in the new schema) you'll have to join by the submitted value. All the tables within the identity schema use the serial/integer ID to perform joins. Frankly, I don't actually care what fields go in the User table, because I don't use the default TG version in any of my projects. If the feeling is that the tables have too much information, please feel free to either change them or submit a ticket/patch with changes.
