That is an almost compelling arguement. However, Suse is still the only distro that uses YAST, apart from some very odd derivatives.
If someone has been using YAST for some years and is happy with it, and the package manager is advertised as capable of removing as well as adding packages, then it's not entirely unreasonable for someone to try to install suse for another machine and then try to prune off some of the things that are overburden.
You still need to recompile many apps to not include ldap support, and one of the things that opensuse boasts about, is ldap integration. Yes, pam may use plugins, but other apps don't. So I don't think it will be done. However, anybody could create a project in the buildservice doing just that: recompile all those apps that use ldap, without. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
