Oh well. That's fine I guess.

The whole point of 'Secret Service' was that it was sort of catchy and
(just a little bit) fun. Sort of a pun on the agency that protects the
US president. The official name of the API is 'Secret Service' even
though a few places in the documentation (including the title) still say
otherwise.

See:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/authentication/2009-August/000092.html

But of course that doesn't force you to give an implementation any
specific name, heh.

Yes, the name of this list is unfortunate. Should we try and get
something generic like 'security at lists.freedesktop.org' or something
specific to the Secret Service?
