Going ever so slightly off-topic, one thing that does spring to mind
that could be useful in the core would be a way for an auth service to
provide contributions to the log-in UI. This could be anything from some
flexform definition to add an extra log-in field through to some form of
work-flow capability for multi-stage authentication.

Then fe_login (or whatever) could render controls based on the
requirements of the active auth services.

Sorry, just a bit of a brain-dump/pipedream.
