Hmmm.  Yes, and they've dropped (the outdated) PHP in favor of (the more
modern) C# and I quote from the full article:

"Some of the changes will effect you directly. For example, we've been 
using our own home-brewed system for managing logins. After the migration, 
we'll be adopting a Web standard called "Passport". As this standard is 
adopted by sites all over the Web, you'll be able use the same system to 
log in at freshmeat and everywhere else!"

Be sure to read through the comments.  ;-)
