User authentication in Phoenix?

A lot of the Phoenix blogs I see seem to use guardian. It’s also JWT based. The exception being the Trello clone tutorial. They appear to be rolling their own authentication system.

I get that Phoenix wants to remain authentication agnostic. However this makes me curious as the big feature in the next iteration of Phoenix is channel presence. Not sure how they plan to implement that without having any built-in conception of a user.
