SUL isn't generic SSO. Clearly, you have little or no understanding of the kind of problems that SUL is trying to fix or the benefits it would bring, so I'm not sure why you thought it was a good idea to embarrass yourself on a public list by backing ignorance with invective.
Spoken like a true crackpot. I don't think your little dream idea is useful or manageable so I must not understand it.
You aren't entitled to getting your desired MediaWiki features implemented by other people. If the current development model or pace bother you, either focus on your power animal and find the patience to wait some more, or start posting patches.
I never claimed to be entitled to anything. I guess I implied that I'm entitled to make fun of the poor implementation of a dumb idea on this list, though. And hey, I am.
