Having looked at the bug you mention, I have to agree that the
ForwardX11Trusted seems to have been misguided at the time it was
applied, and now (over a decade later) seems just plain wrong.

I've followed up on the bug to that effect, Cc-ing you, so you should
have seen that.

Cheers, Phil.

P.S. I take it that you were not trying to say that there's anything you
object to about the proposal to use "without-password" as the default?
