Maybe there are file-server installations hooked to LDAP directories (in
non-Windows orgs - universities and such or Windows-dislking enterprises
 - one name comes to mind).

Kind of reminds me of our attempt to remove the "list all users"
functionality from winbindd because it's fundamentally, ah, imperfect,
in more than one respect - turned out it was perfect for some users who
depended on it. Deprecation is nicer than immediate removal but at the
end of the day, if there's no alternative, the user ends up in the same
place.

Thanks,
Uri.
