Comment 33 for bug 210943

I think they (the users) do care since there are practically speaking no (or very very few) openid producers left that have any user base to speak of. Most "social" identity providers are using something that looks like, or builds on, oauth today (eg fb and twitter). This is what openid connect will look like: a refactoring of openid (with quite a bit of semantic import from saml) on top of oauth. So don't spend another 2 years looking at openid because the industry has moved on and by the time you guys are finished there will really be no openid producers left.
