ldap_provisioning does not fully implement hook_user()

Issue Summary

I have read through #189273: The new user was not created. Please contact site administrator. and it is clear that the standard drupal user registration process should not be used with this module.

Can you please explain the choice to not fully implement hook_user() for manipulating users?

We are currently working on a site build and having a more robust hook_user() in LDAP provisioning would make this site build easier and cleaner. At the moment we are considering writing a small helper module that implements the missing hook_user() implementation, but wanted to see if there are any major pitfalls to be aware of in this approach.

Can you please give more details on which hooks are missing? Ldap_provisioning was originally implemented for D47, after that I just ported it to D5 and D6. I agree that not all possible hooks can be implemented do D6.
