OpenID support seems like a good idea, but we've gotten no feedback about yet, positive or negative, and I do not personally need it in Roller. If somebody cares about OpenID support then need to speak up and/or help us update it to work with the newer version of Spring. Hopefully, newer versions will make it easier not harder to support OpenID. - Dave
