Hm.  I don't think this could be classed as a "minor" change, however,
since it has impact on ownership, for example.  What's the path of the user
folder which is above "/", for example?  The whole thing is useless if
these extra users can't be owners, and the ownership machinery right now
wants an access path.  I think perhaps we should go the fishbowl route on
this, if only to make sure that Jim doesn't have a heart attack when he
gets back.  :)
