I'm not sure why LDAP is seen as a better alternative to /etc.
Every time I've tried using LDAP, it's been a horrific experience:
it's complex, complicated, and obscure. Why would we want _that_
to be the user experience?

Now, I'm all for centralized management, ease of use, etc. But LDAP
is just a mechanism to achieve that, and it's not at all clear that's
the best one for the job, and it's certainly not the only one.

There's not such a great incomaptibility between having easily
modifiable files in /etc and a good user experience. Why do they
have to be mutually exclusive?
