Comment:

 I agree with the core team discussion. It seams odd to not pair a Log in
 button with a Log out button in the admin bar.

 As far a the log in form, I see core and plugin territory over lapping to
 some degree. This enhancement can be easily implemented. However, I
 believe it should be in core for the following reasons:
 * It is the best default state from a user experience point of view. It
 reduces the number of page requests and clicks a user has to make.
 * It adds little over head and uses the same sub menu functions as the WP
 logo.
 * It could allow people to still visit the login page, in the same way
 other parent menu items do.

 I've attached two different diffs. The later, 19745_link.diff is only the
 login button. The former, 19745.diff does an okay job of adding the login
 button and dropdown form, but something is wrong with the style (it
 appears fuzzy to me). I'd like to know what the correct way of doing the
 css would be, even if this ticket is marked as wontfix.
