Personally I would be fine with /boot/home/<username>.

That's the thing here. Writing the interfaces is a walk in the park
compared to what needs the be done under the hood to make everything work.
Because of all the breakage to be expected, it is most likely not to be
included into R1 either, which may be a disappointment. Mathieu, since you
focused on writing user interfaces for logging in and configuring users, it
looks like you need to spend a lot more time researching and discussing
this project idea. Don't let this discourage you, though! :-D
