A bit confused: Is that to say that applications shouldn't use
portal_memberdata at all, or that applications should be robust in the
condition where portal_memberdata doesn't exist?  Is portal_memberdata still
the "right way" to get and set member properties in the case where the
member properties (and thus member object) exists?
