The new system is going to depend on freeipa as much it can for the
heavy lifting. There will just be a web interface and api on top of that

maintain things longer term.

Sure, feel free to make the case to the team working on the interface.

I don't want to commit them to work, but I agree having something might
be nice. Perhaps if not in the initial version in a later one.
