It isn't 'too late' to do something else BESIDES digest; it's just too late to leave Digest out. It's not all that much implementation hair, really, and it will give us something that we can hope that every server can offer and that every compliant client will implement. So Digest fills a real need. If there's some other authentication mechanism that's better, then offer it too.
