"light" in terms of CPU/network, who cares. "light" in terms of
simplicity and maintenance, you have my attention. If there is no such
gadget available, then please let's keep NIS around.

(OK but seriously that's not a fedora matter. Well, or rather, I'd love
to have a passwd/nss backed openid gadget. Is that ipsilon?)
We're currently missing a way to do OpenID or OIDC based login in
Linux like what Windows and macOS has. Ipsilon would be the
server-side aspect of it, we don't have any client-side integration
(sssd, gdm/sddm, etc.)
We are working on that part for SSSD and FreeIPA. Not production ready
yet but aim to have something testable later this year. In a prototype
we have it is possible to authenticate against a thing like Github or
Keycloak.
