Ismael, I have written up a section on supporting multiple mechanisms within a Kafka broker. At the moment, it is under "Rejected Alternatives", even though having thought about it, we should possibly include it in this KIP, unless we are sure it is not going to come up as a requirement. We don't actually need this feature, but it will be useful to know what others think.
