I suppose you could rely only on global (in the CentralAuth extension sense) accounts, but it really would make sense for Wikimedia to get its own house in order first: we should finish fully unifying login across Wikimedia wikis before delving into concurrent authentication systems.
Yes, let's please. But that's another thread.
All right. What's the status of fully unified login across Wikimedia wikis?
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SUL_finalisation was marked historical in January, but that's probably not right.
As far as I'm concerned, the ability to easily rename global wiki accounts (or accounts across all Wikimedia wikis) and a long warning window prior to forcible account renames both seem like hard prerequisites, but the former is still in development and the latter hasn't been started. I imagine this can't be done in 2014, so possibly 2015?
