It isn't that critical for the "default" case (ZODB-based users), but it
does help for SQL / LDAP-backed auth.
Well we do have many sites using those things, but it's a feature not
a bug; so it's not a big deal. They can upgrade for that when it's
released, or run from trunk.

OK, I've backported that as well.
Excellent, thanks again!

Nope. I can cut one at will, especially if you are willing to help test
it. ;)
Certainly, I'll do some manual testing and run all the automatied
tests, then I'll hand it off to the community in an RC and I'm sure
they'll do their best to break it. ;-)
Thanks,
Alec
