Hi Ben :)

no, we should support this, Think on Factory's,
where could supporting us, the need something like this..
also in ldap networks too and other ..
something it's a cornerstone for have a extended User 
Administration/management.
And the whole User management  like drakuser and something should be 
updated..
for supporting some factory infrastructure with extended User 
informations  ..

best regards
Blacky
