Postorius and Hyperkitty will have to drop it, and use something else as a default login mechanism.
I propose using the django authentication system by default and making it easy for people to add other authentication methods.
I think this makes sense. Reinventing the wheel is often quite wasteful, especially when there are decent existing solutions available already.
django-user-accounts [2] It's part of the pinax platform, but can be used independently of the other components. It comes with everything we need and not much more. Note that the profiles of django-user-accounts can contain additional emails, which we probably don't want.
I can think of several use-cases where managing multiple email addresses in the same place could be exceptionally useful and a good win for UX.
