I suppose you could rely only on global (in the

Yes, let's please. But that's another thread.
All right. What's the status of fully unified login across Wikimedia wikis?
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?
