Fine. Not even an reason to delay STABLE then as the "digest" scheme is a new
addition, not likely to gain a wide coverage and can be documented as
"experimental".

Have no problems with including new helpers at any time, or patches to
existing code. New helpers, error pages etc are free to go in even between
STABLE releases.

What I want is that when we make a 2.5.STABLE1 release, there is no known
bugs in any pieces of the code that people are very likely to use.
 * digest scheme is not in this category
 * diskd most certainly is
 * basic scheme most certainly is
 * ntlm scheme is also, but is a new feature so it is acceptable with some
unknown bugs or documented shortcomings (i.e. the "fail-open" thingy)
