@henrikbjorn no, because the firewall runs after the router (because it needs the router to be initialized to be able to use it)

Why does the SecurityContext need the Router? I think it creates a lot of limitations.

because it supports using a route name for the login path rather than a path (useful in case you want to use th locale in the login url for instance)

Sounds like a trade off, what is most powerful/useful.

@henrikbjorn the issue is that it would require removing a feature to add another one, and so break BC

Closing as this has been debated a lot and there is another issue about this (see #2679).
