I vote for this. This has a number of advantages. Among them are that it
helps LoginManager get flushed out with UserSources, that a Portal
Manager doesn't need to worry about those details, and of course, there
is the avoidance of needless code duplication.

That last one is the most significant, IMHO. It is far easier to
maintain the LoginManager, and require it, than to maintain the
LoginManager, and try to replicate it in PTK.
