So... I've been tinkering with ldap for a few weeks now to get a feel
of how it works (and what it does) and keep considering trying to get
rid of the hodge podge of bodgy scripts that have cropped up to make
things work with it.

If such a system was designed, and taking ldap as the base, what
features would a people want? My list covers the following:

1) User/permissions management without dealing with blasted ldiffs
2) Automounting of remote storage based on ldap settings
3) Control of what turns up on the Unity dock, bar, whatever
4) Apt sources based on ldap info
5) Global settings that could be overidden on the local level
6) MQTT users dug out from the ldap database :)
7) Email/calender settings from same said database

Anything glaringly obvious I've missed that people would want?
