I think this is quite sad, as sharing engine-code the Open Source
way is in my view still a superior use. Eventhough I do agree that the
login_engine was crap in terms of the coding & session-handling. Still
it could have been fixed... And nevertheless I do bilieve that sooner 
or later as the Rails community grows shared engines will re-emerge.

Anyway I am happy to have jumped ship last week to an OpenID provider.

For me it's - for now - farewell engines ;-)

Still many thanks anyway for having engines and the login engine 
around for as long as it lasted!
