Forcing use of nscd is a non-starter at many sites. Aside from cache staleness issues, and nscd's well known instability, there's also the issue that nscd doesn't intercept get*ent enumerations so things will still crash depending on which nsswitch functions an app calls.

It would make sense to use nettle on the newer releases that support it, but keep the patch in place otherwise.
