[OpenID] Beanstalk removes OpenID support

[Chris Messina]

So Beanstalk just removed support for OpenID from their hosted subversion
app:
http://www.wildbit.com/blog/2009/05/26/what-happened-to-openid-support-in-beanstalk/

I find this both interesting and frustrating, since I used OpenID to sign in
to my Beanstalk account and now can't remember my username. Heh, go figure.

Still, it points out that the lack of desktop/API solution for OpenID as a
*baked* solution could really hurt the protocol as OpenID seeps into more
applications. I mean, Beanstalk is still one application, but the fact that
we as a community haven't articulated how to use OpenID with SVN (or built
the technical machinery to make that easy) ultimately impacts adoption.

Anyway, thought it was worth bringing up here, since it's something I hadn't
really seen before.
