Too centralized, and costs money. Which are, quite frankly, against the principle of OpenID: The whole idea of OpenID is that it’s decentralized and easy to obtain." Ahemm, but doesn't OpenID depend on DNS? Which in turn is not free? :) “I don’t like the idea of i-names. Too centralized, and costs money.

It doesn't seem accurate to say they don't implement the protocol though: they provide an OP implementation for their users, and do make some features available when acting as an RP. J.B.: if the RP trusts that the OP will authenticate users properly and has adequate security in place, there shouldn't be a problem with using OpenID to authenticate. For the case of the Ubuntu shop, we are happy with how Launchpad authenticates users. TG: Perhaps you should direct questions like that to Livejournal.

Wouldn't using it for authentication with other commercial activities (like shops) come under the same disrecommendation?

For the past years they've only had a half-assed implementation that doesn't even let you link your openid to your journal. It just creates a new one with a weird random name. Isn't it bad advertisement that the creators won't even use their own invention? Any word on when the inventors of openID (i.e. Livejournal) is actually going to implement the protocol themselves?

In fact, http://shop.canonical.com/ is the first RP we set that makes use of it. We don't have anything to announce about Launchpad as a general purpose OP yet though. When there is something to announce, it'll be through official channels first though. Tenshu: we are working on supporting Launchpad as an OP.
