If I understand your proposal correctly, a user would need to login again for 
every link he clicks from his bookmarks or any mail he gets from a Fedora 
webapplication, e.g. packagedb. And with every login a previous session is 
invalidated, which also includes links in another open browser tab, where the 
user logged after he clicked the previous link.
