Speaking as someone sitting at the sharp end of this mess I thought I'd comment. *ALL* Maestro cards are required to have 3D secure verification for transactions to succeed. So that's one card brand down (though it is effectively a debit card). Interestingly there will be a mastercard "debit" in the future though this is not to circumvent SecureCode but to allow rebilling of the card without Mastercard having to admit they cocked up there.
Ultimately the card schemes can insist on 3D secure across the board and have threatened (and imposed, I gather in the case of mastercard) large punitive fines for non-compliance. It seems almost a certainty that this will be universal, what I think of that should be clear enough.
I don't recall my lloyds credit card ever requesting 3D but that was a while ago.
