In terms of practical usage for sudo room, there are a sufficient number of [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona/Libraries_and_plugins libraries and plugins] available for integrating and developing with lots of different applications and environments. This [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/04/mozilla-persona-for-the-non-web/ blog post from 2013] explains some more about how these libraries can be used.

As of [http://identity.mozilla.com/post/78873831485/transitioning-persona-to-community-ownership March 7, 2014], Mozilla plans to turn Persona to Community Ownership, but not decommission the project:
In 2014, Mozilla transitioned Persona to community ownership. In January 2016, they announced plans to decommission the Mozilla-operated Persona infrastructure in November 2016. In September 2016, Sudo Room [https://github.com/sudoroom/sudo-infrastructure/issues/2 dropped Persona login support].


:''"Should we ever consider decommissioning it, we will provide ample notice and a long deprecation window. This will absolutely not happen in 2014."''
The browserid standard is still an open standard, and it would still be possible for us to set up an IdP, but this would be a significant undertaking.
 
This is good and clear, but the future is undetermined. We should look to implement our own IdP, but for now we can bootstrap our apps with Mozilla's service to keep the overhead low as we integrate verification.
