Is that the "additional features that are very interesting for us"? If
it is, then I don't think it's that interesting. At least it
definitely doesn't offset the drawback of having to build host-sqlite
and host-attr.

Our handling of users is not complicated, it's very explicit, works
fine, and is actually probably better than some black magic that
intercepts accesses to /etc/passwd.
