[OpenID] allowing users to switch to opendid-only: pointless?

Your co-designer has addressed the "keep track of" point, but that 
"worry about" point is still a strong one. It's like leaving a 
backdoor in the system, and randomizing the access code when you 
leave because "we won't need it anymore, and who could possibly 
guess" . . . well, someone WILL guess, or brute-force it. If it isn't 
necessary to have another point of entry, DISABLE IT.
