OK, that makes things better.

    If the pin is not provided using our mechanism, then it is NULL and
    C_Login is not called, just as without our patch. So no change there
    to existing behavior.

The mechanism might require some more thinking. But based on the above, I (reluctantly – I still don’t like it) withdraw my objection.
