We're really picky about how our existing Vault clusters are exposed to applications, so building a Secret Engine for this would have required us to run an entire new Vault cluster. Moreover, we're moving away from Vault for a bunch of use cases (not all of them! we'll be running Vault indefinitely) --- not because of any failing of Vault, but because at this point we understand our needs very well, and operational legibility has become a really big priority. This also has a clearer path to integrating with our internal Macaroon tokens.

I have to imagine somebody is going to build a Secret Engine that does this.
