After all of this discussion and people jumping through hoops making the
wiki pages and all it comes down to this latest statement from Rob:

"After talking to the team that's been working on this, I'm getting a
better understanding of what the goal is. Unfortunately, there's only
so much we can talk about at this point, other than to say that it's
part of a necessary consolidation of entry points to the system. The
main thing this accomplishes is the ability to leverage a number of well
understood web technologies for login support, as well as
well-understood back-end systems for managing it."

Basically I take that to mean that:

Viewer security is the least of what they are working on. LL is going to do
what they said they were going to do anyways and we no longer have any
real input into the matter. From this point on LL will make a few token
responses such as answering the questions but that is all. First time I
have ever made such a pessimistic statement concerning Linden Labs,
but just the way I feel now. After over a year of lurking here in sldev,
this was important enough to me to come out and fight for it. Now it seems
it was all for nothing.
