Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/AuthStack/Reduce scope

I'm concerned that this may be too large a project for you to implement and get reviewed in one chunk. I discussed this RFC in the MediaWiki Core Team meeting today, and Chad suggested asking you to reduce its scope, which seems to me like a good way to make it more manageable, for us and for you. In particular, the Permissions interface appears to be largely independent and could be left for a later RFC. Also, the Password component, especially the resolution of bug 28419 (which now has 79 comments) seems like a distinct and potentially controversial unit of work.
