Two-phase commits are notoriously hard to get right. > The table can just contain list of persons using Midgard, and the > actual authentication db is separate.

Yes, but some queries do something like SELECT page.id,person.lastname FROM page,person WHERE page.id=5 AND page.author=person.id which is simply not going to work when this data lives in a different store. I'm not saying "don't do thid", but rather "mind the pitfalls".
