Twitter 1.1 API: Streaming API and OAuth

Question

In light of the announced Twitter API 1.1 ( here ): the Streaming API currently supports OAuth and Basic authentication ( here ); will it stay, or should applications using basic authentication also have to use OAuth? Asking for this, because not realizing that the announced changes will affect the Streaming API.

Answer 1

I see, in the same place , that basic auth will not be accepted forever by the streaming API (the only thing that supports it now). So it’s a matter of time before they turn it off completely.
