Perhaps I've missed it in searching through the recent archive, but 
what's the status and release plan for the new passwd/group AD/SAM 
integration changes that were previously discussed? That topic seems to 
be calm lately with snapshot testing. I'm waiting with baited breath to 
get that change in a release to ease some integration wrinkles we're 
having.
