In the interest of making a milestone release I would prefer option (0).
Any subsequent duplication/integration with GSIP-120 can take place when
that work is ready?
With respect to REST API for users/groups - I was not aware of any progress
on GSIP-120 <https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-120> -
although now I see it was edited on April 19th. Perhaps we can get an
update from Christian.
