Well, keep in mind that until now you had no choice and there was
*always* a session started. Thus it behaves as before in your situation, no?

1/2) would need to be answered by Robert who implemented the session
autostart changes.

3) if it is, it needs to be changed. :)

We'll take a closer look at this next week. The features you ask for
must be possible, otherwise REST authentication (using authentication
headers, API tokens, whatever) would start a useless session as well,
something you definitely don't want, given that REST is inherently
stateless.
