I guess that's true. Unfortunately, it'd be difficult to actually implement.
The logic would have to be constructed so that the time it takes for a
non-existent email to fail logging in would be the same as an existing email
with an incorrect password logging in. This would require initializing a fake
user when the email doesn't exist, passing it to AuthPlugin and whatnot, and
then hashing and comparing a fake password before finally bailing out.
