in line with Jonathan's wishlist[1] for a 2.26.3 release, the following changes address minimal code changes related to the latest updates as well to documentation changes that would guide helpers to adjust to the updated credential subsystem. patches 1 and 2 are unchanged, patch 3 has all suggestions by Peff added and hopefully is ready; patch 4 does integrate all suggestions as well but adds some more changes that I thought were neccesary while rereading it. I think this time there are no grammatical issues (and a free online checker seems to concur), but as a non native English speaker and ineffective spell checker user, look forward to any suggestions there. commit message has also been improved based on the feedback received. not sure how it will look like, but still think that this is the right time to clarify the issue of encoding, if only so that further changes could be coordinated more effectively with helper developers (who seem to be mainly out of tree) so will most likely send an RFC for a 5/4 patch that could be considered for inclusion on a reroll.
