Details

Temporary credentials are confusing for users - they are always forgetting to copy the cert, or modifying the cert, or parsing it..

They're also problematic in that they must fit in a header, severely limiting the number of scopes a user can have.

So let's hand out "permacreds" (meaning a clientId/accessToken with no cert, and corresponding to a row in the Clients table) from the login service.

The invention of `taskcluster signin` has fixed the confusing use-cases here.

The header-size issue is still of concern.
We might revisit this later, but for the moment we don't want to do this..
