@spmallette As far as criticality, that's fairly dependent on the usage of
custom authentication handlers in the wild. It's not impacting my current work
or any of the work I did at IBM Compose right now, but it breaks anyone using
custom http authentication (e.g. the JanusGraph issue linked to this), so
that's pretty bad. That, however, only impacts JanusGraph master right now that
I know of though, so it's not impacting an official release there at the
moment. So not too bad if there's a patch version planned FSVO soon. I wish I'd
caught it before the last one that just went out.
