True, but we all know how _easy_ it is to automate that through the use of
shell/perl/python scripts.

Just cat a student list to the script every year, and watch it remove
students who are no longer enrolled, and add the new ones...

I guess I'm saying that because at uni we have over 3500 students whose
accounts get updated every semester (thats 3 times in one year) - which
means more than 10,000 updates.

I personally think that personal accounts on a private mail server is
defintely the way to go here.
