Introducing PAM doesn't fit in a stabilizing even release. Wait until 015. Last I looked at PAM only a few (like Shadow), were absolutely required for a switch. Others were purely optional. For instance apache doesn't need pam, even in a pam system, to run. Additional features are available if you include it. Of course a piecemeal move isn't ideal but nothing should break too badly. -- Carlo J.
