You're now the second person on related threads to claim real problems exist. I'm curious, what are they?

I'll give you 3
1) It doesn't work in epel
2) It ties us to something proprietary. No one else uses it, even dists that are downstream from us remove it, which is embarrassing if nothing else. 3) It's not universal, only some packages use it, some don't. So only some of the use cases for some of the packages are covered.

OK, I guess my definition of "real problems" is different than yours. Mine is: it's broken and doesn't work.

Other than 1 (which can potentially be fixed/worked-around), the rest are comments around the idea that fedora-usermgmt may not be the *ideal* solution. And I agree it's not ideal.

What I disagree with is the notion that fedora-usermnmt be rejected before a better, working solution is ready to take its place(1).

(1) This is frustrating to me a bit lately on a wider variety of subjects, when *working* solutions are rejected because they are less-than-ideal or not perfect. This leads to great debates and discourse, which more often than not, results in no consensus or definitive right answers. In the meantime, months go by... and that just plain sucks, big time.
