I don't see why single sign-on should be easier to implement on 300 existing
Wikis and 1 new one than on 301 existing ones. Duplication is going on anyway,
and waiting to start this up until there's a significant number of people
sounds self-defeating. Besides, policy has been discussed for months already,
and practice at other projects is that it's formulated by the few people
who start it anyway.
