As far as I remember, there were some thoughts about removing all this stuff form the fe_users table and create a new "persons" table, that can then be related to any kind of record, which of course includes fe_users. Actually an fe_user just needs a username, a password and a group to be able to login to restricted areas, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a person at all. If it is, you can relate a person to the record. 

Since this is the same for be_users, tt_news-authors and other real persons, this would remove a lot of redundancies from the tables and make the system more generic and easily extendable.

Jochen's "beyond extbase" workshop (T3v5) at T3DD10 and the S.C.O.T.T.Y. project (T3v4) are already heading to that direction.

Just my 2 cents

Joey
