It's there to allow you to specify that anyone who joins a group must
be in another group first. Most of the time it is used to enforce CLA
compliance for a particular group, by setting cla_done as a
prerequisite for any groups that give access that needs the CLA (e.g.
all the cvs* groups).
AFAIK, enforcing CLA compliance is a must for the future, and if
we're going to implement a solution for that, it might as well be
generic (instead of just a 'needs_cla' field in the DB, for example).
This is true, it would be nice to enforce this at the LDAP level
somewhere. Lyz do you know of any way to do this? We may want to
talk to the FDS people.
