This looks tidier to me.

Well... there's keeping things standard, and there's making the config
work. No point leaving the config "as-is" if it doesn't work for you.
That's the whole point; you can change it.

The thing is, don't change things that don't need changing. 99% of the
default config will work for everyone, so there's no need to try and
tweak it unless it's needed.

So, if both of the above work for you, use whichever of the two methods
you're happiest with yourself. Then check them into git or whatever so
you know what you've changed from the default.

You could also just comment out the "realm" call and use unlang
instead, if you wanted.
