+1 for Persona.

So thats a reason to move to Persona, which federates without needing
that complexity.

That said, a 'Login with Launchpad' + 'Login with OpenID' button pair
shouldn't be too confusing in the short term.

(Not that I see any point while we still require LP ids for bug management).

Except that in our case, all our apps are *already* OpenID consumers.  There
is no additional education or development needed here.

Standing up another provider is more work.  Making our existing apps be
provider agnostic is less.
Not true. You're forgetting user interface.

Currently, we have passthrough SSO. That means you, at worst, click
"login" then get redirected, then click OK, then get redirected. Done.

If we went to "any provider" - you'd have to click "login" - then enter
your OpenID - which will confuse almost every single developer we have,
since only a handful of us in the world actually understand OpenID, then
they will all come to #openstack-infra and ask questions. Then they will
get it wrong. Then they will mistype their OpenID. Then they WON'T HAVE
ONE... then they'll get it wrong again... and a giant pile of fail will
ensue.
