Comment (by nacin):

 I think we should talk with someone at Twitter before jumping into this.
 Because requiring authentication for an oEmbed endpoint is fairly insane
 and renders it useless.

 Their own documentation on Embedded Tweets makes specific reference to us:
 https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets.

 > Embedding from WordPress and other CMSs
 >
 > Some content management systems like WordPress have created an optimized
 workflow for embedding Tweets. In WordPress you can simply copy the URL
 for a Tweet and paste it on a single line in your post. WordPress will do
 the rest of the work to insert the proper embed code and make the Tweet
 appear in your content. For example:
 >
 > https://twitter.com/BarackObama/statuses/266031293945503744
 > To add this behavior to your CMS, read the section below on Embedded
 Tweets for Developers.

 Additionally, this page (updated yesterday) still prominently references
 the 1.0 oEmbed endpoint. So perhaps they have plans to keep old-school
 oEmbed support alive.
