No, this feature reduces the number of fields for users. If groupware
is disabled for a customer only the fields
- Name
- Password
- E-Mail Address
- UID
- Home Server
- e-Mail Aliases
- User Quota
are shown

That sounds pretty interesting. Currently we are splitting the patch
into feature-separated single patches. We will release them step by
step in the tracker.
As Martin supposed we will start with the patch for the kolab ldap
