Done by Tim in the CentralAuth extension? Cross-referencing a commit or SVN
revision would be helpful for me.

The current behavior (log out anywhere logs out everywhere) has probably become
the expected behavior. I've personally relied on the behavior to stop adminbots
running under my account, as I recall.

I would like to think that most users typically stay logged in on their devices
or use incognito mode on a public computer, but perhaps this is an overly
optimistic view.
