At least two steward bots (using stewbot) already access CentralAuth, along
with JavaScript run by several stewards. Not creating an API doesn't prevent
them from doing so; it just makes things more likely to break, more tightly
coupled to the form layout, and more difficult to maintain.

For example, this is the rewrite that was needed in stewbot to interact with
the overhauled Special:CentralAuth form: <
