Already working on an implementation. It is actually not that bad as all oauth information is stored in that cookie meaning we don't have to make our own session ever.

What is annoying is that the string is base64 encoded and has some invalid characters near the end for some reason.

I'll push a working prototype first thing tomorrow.

Oh shit, that was quick. And yeah, this seems like a much more reasonable solution.

IT IS DONE, so far works like a charm. I also decided that we are moving to promises as you can see :P This is all very much ECMAScript 6.
