We've got all the essential bits as free software already (Fedora
Directory Server, Sabayon [1], gconf, g-p-m bits). Someone just needs to
start wiring these components together.
(Of course it's going to be hard and it will surely involve fixing many
of the interdependent components. The wins are, potentially, huge for
system administrators administering lots of desktops.. and.. with
reusing GNOME policy daemons system-wide as I'm proposing, also servers.
Certainly a worth-while effort I think.)

I think that point is well-understood but the Fedora Project (as I see
it at least) is also about moving our OS forward.
