It depends how you look at it - as a professional LDAP developer, I know the ins and outs pretty well, and the issue is that both LDAP and Kerberos "limit" our thoughts on a design. If we come at a problem and say "lets use LDAP, now lets solve the problem" we will be limited by LDAP's ability. But if we say "Here's our problem, how could we solve it?" we can take a completely different approach. So there are many parts inspired by the GOOD bits of LDAP and there are many parts that are completely different.
