Administrating LDAP = administrating computer (of which, there are
more desktops than servers) = administrating GNOME.

Ask Jorge Castro (whiprush) or any of the other people who deploy
GNOME in a corporate environment about this. Having a good set of
tools for this task is something GNOME has been lacking for awhile.
This is why the admin suite was created in the first place.
