Definitely agreed on large chunks of AccountManager. Most people don't really seem to be familiar with how the HTTP authentication methods work. They just to be able to register users through the web and log in via an HTML form, like they're used to from most other CMSs out there. This seems to be the most common use case, and making it more easily available, I think, would eliminate an enormous chunk of the support questions on the mailing list. Those of us who need to switch to different user management backends, or integrate with existing web server authentication, are more likely to know what we're doing anyways. Or at the very least, being less common use cases I think there would be fewer questions about alternative authentication setups. I have no data on this of course, but a browse through the mailing list archives seems to suggest that most people don't need or want to think very hard about authentication.
