There might be counterarguments about the need for authentication, and that's something we can look at as a part of the design process.

That's more than enough work (and enough challenges) to be going on with. Allan -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
