I would not characterize lack of a SASL implementation as "complete
disregard for RFCs". SASL is difficult to do right in a non-blocking
manner. I don't recall whether nginx is event-based or threaded,
but if it is the former, I too would be reluctant to do SASL (and
I'd be concerned about thread safety in the Cyrus SASL library and
especially the plugins).
