The portal is the best option. The counter-argument doesn't make much
sense. Operating systems have a trillion other bits of information
available.
If we did want to separate it, the worst case is we make it into a new
portal, not rule portals out completely.

AccountsService is effectively dead, userdb from systemd is absorbing
parts. Any changes there would be fragmented.
