I am perfectly happy to have the user info handled by an independent stand-alone module which is willing to take responsibility for ALL of the user profile info. It should provide a REST interface that allows other modules the ability perform authentications, manipulate the profile, etc.
Another acceptable methodology would be to store all of the data in a real relational database and allow each of the modules direct access to the database engine.
I think I've outlined how the core would be extended so that either of the above implementation approaches could work.
Just for the record, as long as it's done in a modular way (i.e. so that people who don't want Postorius can ignore it), I have no problem shipping well tested components that make integrating the core with Postorius easier. It just can't be the only way to do it.
