"those who do not understand Unix have to reinvet it poorly"
Show of hands: Who ever perceived a problem with using /etc/passwd,
/etc/shadow, and /etc/group? They just worked .
Imagine a computer with no user, just root, and an empty /home
directory. You plug in your USB disk and, automatically, your disk is
mounted under /home /and you become a user of this laptop/ - no need to
have root priviledge and enter your name and password in the database.
There's nothing precious on the computer, except the contents of /your/
disk.
I would consider this a nice feature. I simply don't want it to be
managed by poetterware, and even less by systemd.
