I don't think we're proposing a centralized information store- only an identity service.


"Real-name" identity services inherently need to know and store a great deal of identifying information. It's also naive to assume that the government would stop at a straightforward oauth service. They are going to add request tracking (if they don't have it already), background check data, etc. It's too politically and practically appealing to leave it even as privacy-preserving as, say, google oauth (which is a pretty low bar already).
