adaptability and single-sign-on (was: Re: Due June 11, 2020; planning June 18 project review - Fwd: Consultation: Choosing a front end framework)

How well will each framework adapt to our authentication 
infrastructure and which might bring us closer to 1) having 
single-sign-on and 2) easily deploying new technologies?  For #2, I'm 
thinking of WebAuthn, but I imagine there will be more new techs in 
the future.  Eating our own dogfood is a thing.

(I'm reminded of the stories I heard of how United Airlines and 
Continental picked between their two different backend systems when 
the airlines merged.  I heard that the difference that drove the 
choice was how much it had cost each airline to implement changes over 
the years.  The CO system was clearly easier to modify, and they 
picked it even though the UI was terrible and there was a rough 
learning curve for the UA staff.)
