Is there a reason to support non-UPG systems?
Yes. Many Debian users already have non-UPG systems and are not going to
change their enterprise-wide account provisioning in order to accomodate
UPG. Remember, the decision to use UPG in many environments is not a
per-system decision. If the users are coming from some external source
like LDAP, it's an enterprise-wide decision and the person installing
Debian may not have any choice in the matter.
I mean, is there a reason for why I would want a non-UPG system? From
what I've read in this thread, a common users group presents no
advantage over UPG. Debian as an OS provider may be "forced" to support
non-UPG configurations for reasons like you state, but I'm more interest
in why would an enterprise want to take such a decision.
