There would obviously be at least one more, so the question would be "how
many" (assuming that's somehow a metric).

I'm with Lloyd on this one. OpenID is clumsy to work with, does not  
have sufficient user uptake, and is just as much work or more to get  
a site registered with your Identity provider. And I don't buy the  
argument that if there was more OpenID support, there'd be more  
OpenID users.

For those that find OpenID useful, let them be served by the plugins.  
For everyone else, we'll stick to our login form.
