Why precisely does GSI authentication require a client certificate?  There's no underlying technical reason - it's just that the current implementation requires it.

Indeed - unauthenticated clients should proceed to the authorization stage just like they do elsewhere.  If they are unauthenticated and have an authorized token for a TPC, then they should indeed be authorized.  That's the whole point of a bearer token.

FWIW - FTS-based transfers work regardless of #691 and we are indeed using them for WLCG replication.  I would hardly say that the presence of a technical bug (which should be followed up and fixed, of course) in the handling of a Nagios test makes any implications about "suitability".  It just means there's continued room for improvement.
