Chris has an epic in the mw-core backlog tracking OAuth fixes that we
could focus on instead of SOA Auth.

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86869

There are a few things that are compelling about considering a shift
of focus to this for me:
* We already have a list of things to work on!
* Erik is *really* interested in improving OAuth
* We started this project and know that there are things we'd like to polish up
* This has a more visible impact than core code cleanup
* We can probably come up with metrics to go along with it

The down sides:
* Authn/z will need work eventually
* We need to keep working on SOA Auth RfC either way

Thoughts? I'd be happy to have a conference call with the current team
and anyone else who is interested to discuss this if it seems like
that would be more efficient.
