I thought they want to fix these by adding a A4 sheet with text "Do not break!". Surely people won't just walk in, when asked nicely. At least any nice, law abiding people. I guess others are envouraged to walk in, then.
If a thrown-together-quickly-with-left-foot tool is more or less as good as Atlassian's products, I wonder why they have been used in first place. Surely it can't be quality of the products. Nor price, as there are existing (even open source) alternatives that do the job well enough.
Even if they didn't track all possible details of current adults, they would contain the details of future adults.
But maybe this is yet another attemption to produce mindless factory workers who won't rise against their lords even if someone inserts something something to them. While recording it, of course. For the profit... Erm, science.
LDAP Kerberos 5 SSSD is pretty easy to configure and more or less maintenance free for a small set of servers and users. By my personal experience.
