You are not fair ;-).
You *do* store some objects on your session (the guard and the
authenticatedAs attributes)...

Moreover I have said that you should follow the example of cred, and
cred is not componentized at all.

class SessionManager(object):
   def __init__(self):
       self.factories = {}

   def registerSessionFactory(self, sf, iface=ISession):
       self.factories[iface] = sf

   def getSession(self, iface=ISession):
       sf = self.factories[iface]
       return sf

I'm really not sure if this is a bad way of program.
