Comment (by mikeperry):

 So one other moving piece here is that I also change the is_client flag to
 be accurate (similar to #21406 and #21585). I check the consensus, where
 as checking for authentication usage might be cleaner, or it might not be.
 I am still inclined to think that the is_client checks should be based on
 the consensus rather than behavior-based, but we should probably decide on
 a single thing here.
