If there were a separate user database that exposed all sorts of data via
REST, including stuff the core doesn't care about, then all the things I
described before about re-implementing various Zope interfaces in the core
holds true. They would just do REST calls instead of database queries.
Both implementations in fact can live side-by-side, and choosing one or the
other is something you do when you install and configure the system.
