I wonder if it would be possible to use the script from

to impl. getent in user.eclass instead of using glibc's getent? I cannot see
any downside, is there one?
glibc's getent can get data from any NSS plugin (ie. LDAP, MySQL,
etc). Switching to use sys-apps/getent would mean that lookups would
only be performed against the local flat files.
I added sys-apps/getent for musl and did not expect it to be used by
anything else. When I moved that script into sys-libs/musl, I masked
getent:
# /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Anthony G. Basile <bluen...@gentoo.org> (14 May 2015)
# No longer required by any packages in the tree.
# Masked for removal in 30 days.
If you want to keep it, we can remove the mask, but it does block
against glibc and uclibc.
