I'm a bit out of date, but T2k were using it to extend proxies for the
FTS, and also for their job submission from a UI (often ganga).
Direct submission to a CE from ganga has been discussed - and sounded
like it wouldn't be that difficult - and would also require it.

The was the system used to work (at least AIUI) is the "system" should
be extending job proxies. As jobs are submitted to WNs via the CE, then
the CE does this - using an updated proxy pushed to it by the WMS. As
nobody could be bothered to get this working for ARC CEs, there's a
bodge documented on the GridPP wiki. Presumably Dirac does something
similar - though how that works with glexec, I'm not sure.
