<p>I was always under the impression that the entire open source ethos was to be as open and helpful to as many people as possible, be they farmers in Eritrea, salesmen in Singapore or archeologists in Texas.</p>
<p>Not including various systems that are (or may in future be) in common use seems to be driven more out of spite than in trying to be a tool that everyone can freely use.</p>
<p>After all, the login screen includes loads of OAuth 'partners', including Facebook etc, so couldn't it be argued that by including those login systems, we're encouraging the use of proprietary systems too?</p>
