It's too late. You need to make that kind of decision when you first
start. Dealing with conflicts when we went over to global accounts
within Wikimedia was hard enough, dealing with them if we went over to
accepting OpenIDs would be a nightmare.
Not really, since they'd have their own freakish namespace. :)
So everyone using OpenID would have to have a username with a certain
prefix or something? That would be really annoying.
