Well, had my.mandriva been completed, you could have registered your 5
emails addresses and authenticate using each of these (+ your unique
id). That was the point.

I understand that. So we have two conflicting use cases (and it was to expect).

These are unrelated (or should, at least). It did not push any
blocking issue for the past 5 years we used it at Mandriva.

Yes but this is true anyway. Nothing new here, and nothing different
whether we use email as an auth id or not.
Never mind. I was just trying to push the point that the identity/ldap
thing is not just for contributors/build system and should then be
open to more flexible use-cases (than just a frozen username/password
id/auth process). We'll get there with time I guess. Let's have the
thing running first.
Cheers,
Romain
