It really does not make any big difference whether you store user,  
host or name databases in LDAP, Registry (binary files), text files in  
/etc or whatever, it is just a storage, though being realized by  
different means; if you put stuff in there, you will certainly need  
some ways to clean it. AIX for instance uses LDAP-based Registry if I  
remember correctly.

What really matters is what you put to run in kernel space. Having  
that said, I don't think I will run such a "full-featured" kernel ever  
;-)
