+1 for me on groups.

This does raise the question about user accounts no?
We could have a group that is created with the same name as a group that was
deleted, and suddenly our auditing trail needs to take into account a time
component as group X at time A may be different than group X at time B.

Yeah. Luckily we don't add many groups anymore...so I don't think that
will be too much of a problem.

I've the feeling that user accounts are a tad more sensitive and thus we may
want to keep our current policies, I'm raising the question here nonetheless :)

Yeah, user accounts are a different thing.
The case you mention above with groups could be a lot more confusing
with users... user foo at time A is not the same as foo at time B.
I'm ok with just keeping out policy of not deleting accounts except
under exceptional cases.

FreeIPA has a concept of life-cycle management for users -- see 'ipa
help stageuser' and 'ipa help user-stage'.
