  • atopal: Thanks for starting the discussion here. We also discussed it briefly in our dev meeting earlier today. At this point we have no plans to integrate other authentication systems. It’s not clear that the added overhead and complexity stands in any relation to the perceived benefit. It’ also partially motivated by our integration with Github that we’d like to explore further this year and next. Adding other authentication methods would make that more complicated, so we’d need a compelling reason to still pursue that. A compelling reason? How about this: MS is part of Big Data and dreaded - to put it mildly - by many in the free software world. MS also feels at liberty to violently change their policies at any time without prior notice and might - like others already do - deplatform their own customers for somewhat less than compelling reasons. Many free software advocates clearly feel uneasy and uncomfortable with having to accept Microsoft rules (being the only one option) if they want to help out MDN and be at the mercy of a large corporation whose policies in other fields they utterly dislike.
