2020.  Gentoo discovers that people usually don't run LDAP on their
desktops.  Some developers can't believe their eyes!  Gentoo forms
a Working Group to establish whether using LDAP on desktops is really
that uncommon.

This fits nicely with the recently announced fact that Gentoo Foundation
has too much money and is looking for funding requests.  After all, what
could be a better use of Gentoo money than funding the work of a Working
Group trying to establish matters of such great importance as default
USE flags on desktop profiles.

After a lot of debate the Working Group concludes that there is no
conclusive answer whether LDAP should be enabled by default or not.
