For non logged user it makes sense. I'm not so sure about the logged-in 
user use-case.

I can see two cases:
1. User wants to edit 1st realm from the list - he has to click on that 
realm from the list. Now he's already there. Result: 1 more step added.
2. User wants to edit non-1st realm from the list - he has to click on 
the realm from the list. Now he has to choose it from the list. Result: 
equal number of steps.

So unless we know what useful "other generic information" should be 
there, for me it's like adding one more step for the user in some cases. 
I'm aware of facts, that "steps" in my cases are not equal to clicks and 
those information value can leverage that extra step, I'm just trying to 
add my 5c.
