For PG to be an option in certain environments, it *needs* to be done
because in those environments username/password are *unacceptable*.
Additionally, there's someone (actually, more than one it seems) who's
willing to spend the time and energy to implement it. If it's not
necessary for your environment, great! If you weren't suggesting it
shouldn't be implemented or accepted then I've truely got no idea what
the intent of your previous mail was.
Enjoy,
Stephen
