Excuse me, but the limit of a maximum of 16 group memberships per user has not been known to me. It would be a good idea to document it somewhere. I know a number of persons who will run into problems because their idea of proper system architecture requires certain persons to be a member of a higher amount of user groups. Until now, it might not have worked, but the day it finally crashes and nobody can log in anymore, will not make them happy. There should be an option, somehow.
