I believe the code was finished after the EG 2.1 beta branch was already created, therefore the auth browse feature was slated to be released officially with EG 2.2. As I recall, the EG 2.2 release was still a long time coming and the TPac was not developed enough so I think that is why it has not been ported to TPac at this point.

No correction needed.  That is approximately how things happened with
authority browse.  Additionally, we focused on the JSPAC since Berklee
was/is planning to use that, IIRC.
