I agree here - because it would still use OpenID, etc the only thing
to lose would be the capability to reuse the OSM password. But as we
all know, reusing passwords across sites is a poor security practice and
should be discouraged.
The added exposure through StackExchange can only help. Highly
technical people are part of the population profile we are trying to
attract.
