I've been able to use @drupal.org on quite a few other sites too, so I think it'd be a good idea to focus some efforts on making this backwards compatible.
I think we can probably enable a special openid_drupal module that dereferences username@drupal.org (or configurable, username@example.com) for backwards compatibility. Anyone want to look at what it would take for this?
IMO, this is wasted effort... and doesn't actually fix anything. There isn't really 'backwards compatibility' here... we *want* people to get out of the habit of entering their d.o (or other) username & password around on the web.
Let the foo@example.com be the username. I.E. allow the use of @ in the username without treating it special. This might require a password reset but the user can request that himself. Feasible? Earnie -- http://for-my-kids.com/ -- http://give-me-an-offer.com/
