I think the post is too cautious in my view...

All solutions have pros and cons. The perfect solution doesn't exist.

More into details: a user never notices the "realm" redirection, he just wants to login (interesting the issue of the change realm though).

Only a developer sees what's going on (no "normal" person looks at the status bar in a browser).

The average (i.e. 99.99%) users only see that they can login with their Google or FB account.

Sure RPX becomes your single point of failure, but, unless you are a major site, it's risk you can run.

Last but not least: time.

Yes, you can use libraries for each provider, but how long will it take you?
What are the benefits for you?
Do you get more visitors because you coded the authentication yourself?

I still think that RPX is a good solution to quickly bring down the adoption barriers. And that's something that matters in my view..

ciao
