--- Comment #2 from Marc A. Pelletier <m...@uberbox.org> ---
There are a number:  NFS expect usernames and group names to match between
client and server when not using Kerberos, that's obviously not possible with
non-unique names (right now it's hacked around by having a cron job read from
ldap and construct a local /etc/group and /etc/passwd based on it; that's not
robust, and very hacky)

Gerrit, otoh, needs to have a single source of group names and cannot combine
things coming from more than one OU at all (unique or not).

Ryan had a couple of other scenarios where having a list of unique service
groups names was desirable or necessary.
