Hi, [...]
Operating system features that rely on a human reviewing rpm{old,new} files are flawed. We must design the system in such a way that it does not require interaction. Especially in cases where the user only used "approved" methods to configure the system. Means that if eg yast did the change it is in our responsibility to not maneuver the system into a state that it cannot recover from itself.
If the way nsswitch.conf works is incompatible with those requirements the concept has to be retired and replaced by something smarter.
Looks like nsswitch.conf kind of states the obvious most of the time anyways. Maybe we don't need it at all?
Even extra authentication methods could probably be determined automatically by looking at the system. Ie if sssd or ypbind are enabled it's not unlikely that those are meant to be used for authentication, right?
I fully agree, though I always check my .rpm* files and merge whatever seems to be necessary!
