What do you suggest for scaling to smaller installations? 
Config-files at user's home-directory, individually created and personally 
signed by the system administrator? A little bit of config into LDAP, another 
bit  under local /etc (or %WINDOWS%\systems) and the rest on the 
desktop? Going back to "hosts"? Where is the advantage? 

It's the job of distributors and consultants to create some scripts who 
organize this stuff. This provides scalability but especially security because 
templates are a basic element to implement the security guideline of a 
organization.

Developing a groupware solution that could be used by MS users as well 
as by KDE-users does not mean copying their mad Exchange approach.
