I disagree, strongly.
The last thing I want is to get every of my applications Avahi / Zeroconf aware for DNS or SSSD aware in enterprise environment for user authentication. Or worst, having to recompile them for that.
System controllable for aspect like user authentication or service discovery makes perfect sense.
What does not makes sense is to have it implemented as a glibc plugin system. This triggers a lot of problems for system that do not have the glibc (Golang / musl / statically linked binaries )
Ideally, that should be done through an IPC mechanism through to a local daemon to benefit of the best of both worlds.
