We are more than mere frogs in a pot though. We have made note of this. We outraged. We argued and counter argued. We will not forget so easily, no matter the view point on it.

If nothing comes of it, some of us can say "I've told you..."

If the next step gets implemented and the field becomes mandatory, some of us can say "See!! Froggies"

If it becomes mandatory and a further implementation also adds the framework to submit the data to some idp service, then we can get the pitchforks out.
