I'm not a spokesperson for the company and really don't feel comfortable saying anything specific about this.

Generically: Identity is a very hard space. It's one of those things that sounds really simple but the deeper you go the more edge cases you find.

With an complex systems, changing fundamental designs of the system- while users and other systems are currently using that system- is like trying to upgrade the engines on a plane while in flight. Technically possible, with a lot of planning, but any wrong move or bad assumption and you're going to crash.
