An LDAP backend sounds appealing as a handful of others have mentioned. 
 At the same time though it sounds like a lot of the team's experience 
leans towards the SQL end of things.  Because of that I tend towards the 
SQL side.  I also think Toshio brings up several good points in his email.

But... before we get too far ahead of ourselves, I think much like the 
backup discussion we will be doing ourselves a favor to outline the 
requirements of Account System updates.  What makes it to the 
requirements list might have some bearing on which backend makes the 
most sense.

I think others on the list are probably more in tune with what the 
requirements are.  I think we could also learn a lot from the common 
complaints about the current system.  Between those two lists we should 
be able to come up with a good plan (including more info to help with 
the SQL versus LDAP backend).
