Taking a lead from GDS and starting to create user-friendly, predictable applications with a shared design language and reusable components (like SSO, email/SMS/letter sending) would be a step in the right direction.

They've already stated but it will take a long long time.

That isn't free, and won't solve the same problem - logging in to existing applications being used today and for a long time into the future.

Nothing's free. You can't really deny that taking that approach is more sensible than the current, fragmented mish mash of propriety systems.

The fact that they've already started down that path is a good sign.

Of course nothing is free, that’s the point. Yes it’s a good approach but as I said its solving a different problem.
