I think that we need to revisit the whole area. I don't consider much of
the code in the trunk more than experimental directions that various people
went in without much rhyme, reason or discussion. And I have no difficulty
at all with the idea of punting most of the crap out of trunk.
Personally, I could argue for standardizing on a single implementation based
on JCR, and providing import and/or export support for various formats, such
as our current file-based and db-based format, maildir and mbox.
Likewise, I'd be just as happy to move to and standardize on a user
repository based on LDAP, using ApacheDS by default and able to plug into
other LDAP systems. I am a bit less concerned about this area, though. The
only place where I feel that LDAP offers a value to us is with user
credentials (e.g., SMTP AUTH and/or S/MIME certificates).
