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.

We have a backwards compatible offering - in contrib - the point here  
is is that - as goba has pointed out - there needs to be the authname  
tweak in the upgrade path (not a big effort)... but my initial point  
was really more a 'marketing' issue:

Lest we are prepared for the onslaught of OMFG I CNA'T LOG IN DRUPAL  
SUXX tickets - we should be pretty clear about the change in release  
notes, etc etc - and have a policy what to do in *.d.o in the change  
over. I'm much more inclined - and have said in the past - that we  
opt for a changeover period while both old style and openid are  
available with a clear, publicized EOL for the former.
