Ah! Hm, that's a horse of a different color...

So now I'll have three Wikimedia global accounts, one for WMF official usage, one personal, and one for Wikitech with all different names?

Or I should merge the Wikitech account with my WMF account of a different name?

Is that something I can do without requesting a local rename first?

I ask because I got it, and I'm already attached to a MediaWiki account so there doesn't appear to have been anything for me to do once I logged in there, but the subject and text imply that it's required to make a change from current state.

The email's terminology is slightly confusing in that round I think.
Rather than "MediaWiki account" I think it should read "Wikimedia
Global Account (SUL)". The project that is underway is converting the
locally attached accounts on Wikitech to be backed by Central Auth
rather than Developer accounts in LDAP.
