Someone might want the links combined if they present
both the create
account and login forms on the same page. Wikia used to do this. Twitter and
Facebook do this currently at <https://twitter.com/> and
<https://www.facebook.com> when you're not logged in.
Yes, but both forms are better than our 2 forms because they have the
input fields for login and registration on _one_ page. IMO more clearly
for newbies.
This is not a reason
to not flip the default on Wikimedia wikis, but it is
perhaps a reason to
keep the configuration variable around.
Sure, keep the config var for b/c.
I'll also note that creating an account is still considered a sub-type of
logging in (Special:UserLogin?type=signup), though Special:CreateAccount
properly redirects. I think it's a bit strange that they are not two
separate forms completely (Special:UserLogin and Special:CreateAccount).
That's bug 15700
