It was just a suggestion. Many users distro-hop frequently these days
anyway to get support for all their hardware so I thought this would be
easier for some than figuring out how to patch two critical packages
(PAM and glibc) with TONS of dependencies.
And I think it's kind of silly that this problem was solved a year and a
half ago and there distros that have yet to get with the program ;-)
