NSS is the reason and problem.
Why should every other library waste time and resources to re-implement
the glibc NSS interface and stay in sync (and this is needed to use the
same NSS modules) only that glibc saves a few bytes? And yes, we really 
speak only about a few bytes here.

It's ok that you are for removing it from glibc, but please, then provide
a doable alternative solution.
