I see, my mistake. I unintentionally exaggerated the semantic changes you're making.

The colors do have meaning already, though the well-known blue button has somewhat orthogonal semantics. mw-ui-primary is currently the key (primary) button of a form, e.g. Log in. That translates to blue in Vector, and is the one currently used on Login and Signup.

mw-ui-constructive is green, and mw-ui-destrructive is read (roughly the same as the proposed standard, though the appearance is different).

Blue = Progressive (more steps in the process)
Green = Constructive/Completion (only/final step in a process)
Red = Destructive

Still, that is a change in usage. It means both the login and signup will be green, for starters.
