+1

I think the idea is to support any OpenID provider, rather than forcing
everyone to use Launchpad. The Foundation /could/ run its own provider
as an option for people who don't have an OpenID yet, but you should
still be able to use your own OpenID provider on Foundation systems
(including Launchpad's one for those attached to it).

As long as we depend on Launchpad (which ONLY supports Launchpad's
OpenID provider) there is no way to migrate to something else anyway...
so this is more a "future plans" thing.
