Hi!
Would it be possible to extend the 5th field of /etc/passwd to include gender
information? This is very useful for localised programs in languages that
make gender distinction. For example in Catalan, many sentences are constructed
differently when addressing a male than when addressing a female.
If you like the idea, I can send a patch for adduser.

From all the comments in this issue, I conclude that dealing with l10n
issue by diverting the use of a passwd field is certainly not the
right approach to me.
