is OpenID Connect on the roadmap?

[Rod Widdowson]

Sort of relevant:

"It didn't work well last time, so we'll start again from the ground up and this time it's bound to take off".  

Even if it isn't relevant to the topic, it has to be relevant to any mailing list with "dev" in the title.  Anyone who has developer
pretensions need to read this and the mythical man month at least once a decade.
