Yeah, but that would break the user's history and ACL. For me it seems 
too much Web 2.0 to be considered for Enterprise Linux :)

We need a self-service console which works for our existing applications 
and can - for example - solve "the wikiname problem" (i.e. different 
usernames based on the application accessed)
We want to start out with a plain LDAP because it is widely supported by 
the applications we intend to use. We can still move somewhere else 
later as long as that one supports ldap-queries (i.e. IPA, Mango, whatever).
The problem I see with FAS is that we'd need to change our applications 
to support it. For ldap it is usually just a few configuration-switches.

Depends. There are centos people who are quite into ldap and while we 
need some weird stuff the whole thing is rather simple.
