I must still be missing something, because the point of having a 
customer database is to centralize customer data.  But this only works 
if the entire database of customers is duplicated and then somehow kept 
in sync (add users, drop users, email changes, password changes)?  That 
seems very anti-RDBMS.

I guess one could do a nasty workaround by telling Eventum to use a view 
into the "real" customer database instead of its own table for its user 
info, but MySQL 5.0 is not GA so that's out.

What is the next-best workaround?
