Hi Stephan, The new handler changes for Netty layer is straightforward and it is not really an workaround. Moreover if we think there is a better way to handle it in future we can easily unwind it as it is just a pluggable handler. Pushing these changes before FLIP-6 merge certainly avoids lot of conflicts and also we already spent cycles in reviewing and fixing rest of the authorization changes for other layers.
