Uh, well, many organizations have legacy going back a long time. They tend to build and integrate parts of their infrastructure on their own, so I suppose you could say you don't want their business. But I suggest that when you can give people hooks that allow them enough freedom to use your product, you win. The trick is to find the right boundaries. Just to be clear: I'm not advocating this particular solution. I don't think you should care very much about workgroup mode with NIS/LDAP. I'm answering only your point about customization.
