[Serusers] Re: [Serdev] Auth* changes

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Juha,

indeed rel_0_9_0 is and will stay frozen if we ever what to have a 
release. Rules state clear that once frozen, no commits are allowed 
excepting fixes.
What you miss here - or I haven't made it clear enough - is that the 
auth* commit doesn't backport any new features, improvements, etc, but 
backports a *cleanup* of these modules, cleanup which fixes a lot of 
inconsistencies - which in my opinion goes into fixing area.

If this cause you any inconveniences, I'm really sorry, but our major 
concern now must be to get a new SER release as best as possible.
