Um, in this case, the code works. We just need to merge it in. The point is that the new code would break things that people may expect to work. The biggest problem is going to be with the authn/authz split requiring new directives for authoritative access. Previously, AuthDBMAuthoritative would make dbms authoritative for both authn and authz - since that is split into *two* modules (and one directive can't be parsed for multiple modules it seems), then we're stuck. My rewrite requires switching to AuthnDBMAuthortiative and AuthzDBMAuthoritative, respectively. -- justin
