Not 100% certain, but it could further complicate our lives if we don't 
seperate them.  That would mean anytime someone wanted to create an 
alias, they would have to check:

Kerberos
/etc/passwd on savannah
/com/mailer/aliases on fencepost
savannah-aliases (Presumably an include file)

I'm not comfortable with the fact that we don't have an authoritative 
database of usernames right now, and this integrating this adds further 
complexity.
