Yes, SSSD is of interest to me too.  The last version I used was sufficiently
less adept at matching winbind or nss_ldap in functionality that it wasn't all
the good for use against Active Directory.  I'm assuming nested group handling
has improved somewhat since I last tried it with CentOS 5, which was the
killer when I last tried.

It certainly sounds like a massively improved model compared to nss_ldap,
you'd hope for much better resilience and performance.

I'm not sure I see graphics drivers as a big deal.  Have your own local repo,
add in a suitable package from elrepo, and install it at kickstart time.
