Brad,
I used the "loginCTA" campaign data just a couple weeks ago to track the
effects of a change to the design of the call to action on
Special:UserLogin.[1] Since the Editing department is (theoretically at
least) responsible for accounts and signups, I imagine I'll have reasons to
use it in the future as well. So I definitely vote for keeping it.
It's not critical data, though, so if it makes more sense to put the
instrumentation back in next week's train, that's fine.
(I went on vacation last Thursday and only got back today, so I didn't have
a chance to see this and comment before the patch got merged.)

Hey Brad,
That sounds fine to me.
We previously used the loginCTA campaign to measure the value of that
secondary button on the login page (
ee-dashboard.wmflabs.org/graphs/enwiki_campaigns) but it doesn't need to
happen on an ongoing basis.

Question 2: Would anyone care if we remove the extension entirely from
Wikimedia wikis? Wikiapiary seems to show only one user outside of
Wikimedia.
Following up on this: Since the answer to Question 2 was yes, we've done
the necessary update to Campaigns so it will continue working with
AuthManager.[1] Since no one answered Question 1, the loginCTA campaign
has
been removed. It will stop showing up in
1.28.0-wmf.4, which rolls out
this
week.
