We have decided to implement [OpenID Connect] as a beta feature, it's suggested you only utilize it for testing and
providing feedback, and should take caution in relying on it in production as of now. [OpenID Connect] and it's related
endpoints are not enabled by default unless you specifically configure the [OpenID Connect] section.

As [OpenID Connect] is fairly complex (the [OpenID Connect] Provider role especially so) it's intentional that it is
both a beta and that the implemented features are part of a thoughtful roadmap. Items that are not immediately obvious
as required (i.e. bug fixes or spec features), will likely be discussed in team meetings or on GitHub issues before being
added to the list. We want to implement this feature in a very thoughtful way in order to avoid security issues.

The beta will be broken up into stages. Each stage will bring additional features. The following table is a *rough* plan
for which stage will have each feature, and may evolve over time:
