Sounds good to me. Almost all uses of Auth-Type are wrong. Third
party documentation and "howtos" are almost all wrong. The main
difficulty is that deleting it now will break many configurations.
Maybe a solution is to add huge warnings to the debug output saying
"THIS IS WRONG. IT WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM.". But the people who need
to not use Auth-Type may not read the debug output, either...
