Comment 3 for bug 629169

> If Launchpad is down during login, SSO will not return that extra information.

That looks like a problem to me. Many, many, many things are protected by Launchpad team restriction. That means that all of these resources become unavailable whenever Launchpad is unavailable. I'm not sure that's a limitation we are willing to live with.

I'd clarify with at least James from IS before switching to this new API.
