commons.wikipedia.org already redirects to commons.wikimedia.org (for historical reasons, maybe), so that has to be considered.
Yes, it redirects. But to solve the problem I'm describing, the API would need to be served from commons.wikipedia.org.
I think what you're proposing is also kind of confusing and I'm wondering if there aren't better ways to approach the problem.
I'm open to suggestions, but I'd rather not wait until CentralAuth gets completely redesigned and rewritten.
