[geeklog-devel] Custom user attributes in GL2

[Tony Bibbs]

I'm fine with data driving the custom user stuff..l

I would still say, though, you'd want real columns in the GL2 user table 
for thing we know we need (i.e. username, password, etc) for performance 
reasons alone, right?  Regardless, going this route will make the use of 
Propel a little bit messy as the user class generated by propel won't 
know anything about the custom attributes in the database.

Also, for clarity, are you suggesting we do this for all plugin specific 
user attributes?  I don't think you are and if you are we probably want 
to discuss the pros/cons between that and having a plugins specific user 
table with a one-to-one relationship with the kernel user table.
