I think it is still important to point out the gross miscommunication 
that happened here. LL is working on something to reduce fraud by 
consolidating their login services, someone misunderstood this to mean 
they were trying to make the login process more secure, and about 100 
e-mails of argument were generated as a result. There are some 
legitimate concerns (that could probably be addressed without scrapping 
anything) buried deep deep deep inside the largest off-topic thread on 
sldev yet.
