Thanks.

There must be functionality that was there that I didn't see.  I didn't
remember seeing anything for provisioning.  I'll go back and look.  We
certainly can make the old pages available, particularly as an interim step
until that functionality is migrated to the new framework.

I don't remember what that project accomplished.  I am well aware of mimir's
libnet and its ability to manage users.  One of the early additional modules I
foresee being added is, in fact, a user manager module with libnet as its
backend.
