Well.... we do know what the problem is for SMP and what solution needs
to be implemented. It is just that nobody has implemented it yet.

That solution being: converting the username cache and Auth::* state
data objects to using shared memory.

Patches or offers of sponsorship to make that happen are very welcome.
This is a fairly big job though so YHBW.
