Greetings!!

Does anyone know why keystone design supports the creation of a fresh token for each time a user logs-in/requests a token
Even if in the system there are un-expired tokens for the said user? Design justification?
Apart from buggy code creating an explosion of tokens, this is a route for denial of service.
