Out of curiosity, do any of you use the cyrus sasl otp mechanism with OPIE?
I personally prefer the internal auxprop version of the mechanism. However,
if OPIE gets reintroduced at some point, it might make sense to ask the
cyrus-sasl maintainers to create two versions of the mechanism (if demand
and resources permit).
