Sure, I'm all for followup patches rather than reverts. Improve what can be improved, and remove what can't. But the current forms are a mess. The usability and aesthetics of login and signup directly impact our highest priorities as an organization, so it's not okay to let them degrade in the name of hypothetical future improvements.
I agree we have to be wary about consistency. I'm not sure putting these kinds of changes on the release train incrementally is the way to go -- perhaps having a test instance in Labs run a WIP changeset or branch til we're happy with it, including things like RTL testing?
We do have a bit more time since the release train is slowing down over the Wikimania period, AIUI.
With that said, kudos for moving this forward :)
