It doesn't break it, it changes how it works, that being the intention
of an extension. However, the next time I get a chance to release an
update there will be a global enable/disable ExternalAuth variable so
that you can install the extension but still not use it until you are ready.

That's not up to me, that's up to people who create packages for linux
distributions. Speak to whoever maintains the RT package for your
distribution.

>> Please please please stop if from changing your RT configuration merely by installing it. You should be able to install it without worry, and then activate/de-activate it independently.

As above, independent activation is planned for the next release, but
you must understand that installation of an extension such as this is an
intentional change to the active code. The *configuration* however does
not change until you change it with the supplied examples.
