Yes, of course you would, but right now a steward has to: *Notice that the request exists *Check whether he has an account. If so: log in *If not: create account. *Confirm emailaddress *The finally he can give himself the needed rights.
By then over 50 vandal renames can be done by WoW & Co. Unified login would take at least away the "check whether he has account" and "create account" because he will have an account per definition of single user. The email doesnt have to be confirmed anymore. He only needs to give a short link on his userpage and grant himself (herself) the rights.

As a steward, I would love to have unified login. There are 638 wikis where I still need to manually register an account so that I can respond on any wiki without delay < http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pathoschild/Sandbox2 >.
Unified login wouldn't help, because user rights are local. You'd just have 638 accounts with no user rights.
And it's also possible to automate such account creation without implementing unified login (without renaming any accounts).
But... aren't we getting sonewhat off-topic?
Off the topic of the thread, but not off the topic of the mailing list.

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).
