I don’t have any particular objection to this language and agree that it’s
actually closer to how we talk about the trust auth method in our
documentation.

Maybe if we decided to rework the documentation … or perhaps just ripped
“trust” out entirely … but those are whole different things from what we
are trying to accomplish here.
