Sort of the latter, for me it’s a plumbing artefact.  The legacy decoders
need to provide a NameIDDecoder and a NameIdenfierDecoder as parameters to
the constructor for the general purpose PrincipalConnector.  So when I see a
principal connector of that type I need to summon up something to plug in.

That would be my assumption too.  I'll see what I can do to create a flow to
exercise that.
