Subject: Re: Authentication to Reader with OAuth now available.

I have enabled OAuth on the subscription export so you should be able to use
that as well now.

I can't say definitively what Google is going to do with respect to auth
systems, however OAuth is not experimental, I fully expect its support to
outlast ClientLogin. We actually prefer OAuth to ClientLogin now so that
users don't have to provide Google credentials to third party applications.
