Sounds good.

The big practical detail to work out is all of the userspace bits for
the uid and gid mappings.  Assigning multiple uids per each user and
things like that.  Which I expect ultimately means updating the shadow
package to set it up so that we reserve a bunch of uids and gids for
each user when their accounts are added.
