Agreed. Which I come to the same conclusion (not abandoning Sling's nice stuff)

Well, there is a unique "feature" which is called "missing-auth-mapping". I am 
not entirely sure, that I want to add support for such functionality. Because 
in essence, this would just replace one "anonymous" user with another one (with 
maybe the added functionality of being able to disable that user...).

Do we have something else (other than the missing-auth-mapping stuff) ?
