You could, at least, answer his question and tell him why you need to proceed in the obtuse manner you demonstrate instead of waving his question airily away with the argument: that your needs "require major refactoring of some IT mess, which is not in the short terms gaols".
Well, I attempt to setup a directory while retaining an existing authentication mecanism, because changing that would require modifying a lot of things, including machines I don't have administrative access to. That's a desirable goal, but I don't want to work on it immediatly. Is that position so shocking?
