I don't have particularly strong opinions about how authentication is implemented in yarn, but I've had a few customers ask after it already, and there are a few threads in the yarn issue tracker on the subject (yarnpkg/yarn#521, yarnpkg/yarn#547).
I thought it would be worthwhile to center this discussion around an RFC; it's a complicated enough feature that context could easily be lost across open GitHub issues.
