That's true, but it looks like an "ugly hack" anyway to use
TYPO3_PROCEED_IF_NO_USER in init.php. I think this could be an issue to
be solved by the "init.php cleanup task force" (for 4.6) [1]. Something
like this:

- have (new?) init.php which only sets up the environment and starts the
auto-loader,
- have a second phase which will check the configuration, settings etc,
which might lead to exceptions being thrown or decisions about the
further route to be taken.

Cheers,
Ernesto
