You are right, we wouldn't. But we still should have a "standard" API for
setting properties on users in the user folder, so that the MemberData tool
can know if it should set the properties by calling the userfolder, or store
them by itself.

Otherwise you end up with having to always make a pair of products. One user
folder and one MemberDataTool. And that defeats the purpose of having
separate products. :-)
