Yeah. If I remember correctly, better Zephyr authentication was
listed as a 5 for importance and a 4 for likelihood, but it's not
listed anywhere in the minutes.
The code has been written, integrated into the zephyr locker, and a
week ago I sent out a call for testers with fairly wide distribution.
After a couple of build-related problems were corrected in the first
day of testing, no one reported any problems with the new clients, and
a few people have reported that everything works fine.
Bringing this into the release should be simply a matter of taking a
snapshot of the zephyr locker (and doing the usual modifications to
the configuration) before the code cut.
Also, perl 5 is advertised as providing a very high level of
backward-compatibility. It is probably worth testing on a few
non-trivial scripts to see if anything breaks. Waiting until the fall
release wouldn't be such a bad idea, though.
