OAuth2 is an implementation of Authorization.  We have Jira's for 
OAuth1a, alternate work flows etc.

A better way to think about it would be the auth module is user visible 
credential authentication and authorization.  The authz module is third 
party authentication and authorization.

A while ago we did discuss revisiting authz/auth and see if they can be 
meaningfully merged.  This may be something for a different thread.  As 
it stands they don't make sense to be in the same module because they 
work differently for different use cases.
