Sorry, I somehow completely missed the F35 change to make files the first entry
in nssswitch.conf by default now.

I see on the changes (1) page that SSSD now also no longer is started by 
default,
that is great. 

Since SSSD already no longer runs by default, then I see no need
for a special "local" profile.

Thank you for your work on this!

Hans
