They can force oauth authentication for authenticated API calls. If
the API stops looking at the HTTP_AUTH_USER to determine who the user
is, basic auth has been deprecated...

How are they going to stop basic auth?
If a website already have the username/passwords doesn't that mean
they
can log in on a users behalf until they change the password via the
twitter.com website?

Subject: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth deprecation coming
With Basic Auth deprecation coming in June 2010, will developers have
a "sand box" way to use Basic Auth? I mean, it's handy to develop and
understand code with Basic Auth, and then cut it over to oAuth. Any
ideas?
