My question was actually positioned with the PrincipalAnnotation utility in mind and whether you think that it still is needed once you have first class User objects. > I don't think systems should be built relying on being able to annotate > principals. That sounds kind of implicit. I'd rather see a first class > User concept. That was more the statement I was looking for. That, and a statement regarding the PrincipalAnnotation utility in particular...
