It doesn't. It adds a feature that can be enabled on demand. The feature
fixes a problem, but since the tool is not enabled by default, it doesn't
fix anything for us.
Okay, then let me rephrase: fedora-usermgmt can be used to solve a
problem if the local admin wants to do it; fedora-usermgmt works the
same way as useradd would if not configured and should do no more or
less harm then useradd for users.
Does that match better?
There are other reasons why EPEL might not want the tool. Naming them
is
left as an exercise once all the critics have understood what the tool does
and how it works.
/me still would like to see good reasons to ban it...
/me sill wants this problems solved in Fedora-land once (e.g. in both
EPEL and Fedora)
