I attempted to capture some of this discussion here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729118

If anyone has more thoughts/ideas please feel free to follow up here,
and I can update the bug, or comment on the bug directly.

I am still not convinced it is a good idea to split passwd in multiple
files, besides potentially affecting applications and backup tools and
custom scripts.
Just to make you aware, there are already schemes with shredded shadow
files, like TCB: http://www.openwall.com/tcb/

It stores a shadow file per each user and implements both NSS and PAM
modules to work with these files.

It is deployed for years in OpenWall, ALT Linux, and a number of other
distributions.
