Well, there's always a chance that the whole concept is just going to be dropped, right? Does anyone actually care about unified login, as defined (having the same username on all wikis)? I know a lot of people care about the things which are supposedly dependent on unified login, like having unified contribution lists, and unified preferences, and unified talk page notification, but none of these things are actually dependent on unified login (if defined as having the same same username on all wikis).
Maybe the people who participate on several wikis, and who don't want to remember a different name for each one. Or those with a good established reputation who could find someone using their name on a different wiki with less than flattering results.
Isn't it a GFDL violation to change someone's username (and thus their entries in the history section) without their permission?
I'm sure that if that is the case we could provide a reasonable temporary name to the one who must change.
