Open Source Provisioning!!!...toolkit

I've been having a few conversations with colleagues about the absence of an open source solution for automated provisioning (keep an eye out here...something cool to come out soon), and then today, I made my way to the openptk website.

Now, I know that these guys don't have an actual provisioning solution, but rather a toolkit of APIs, web services, HTML taglibs, etc. that plug into existing provisioning solutions. Unfortunately, there isn't alot of info on their site, but its absolutely intriguing. Affiliations aren't hidden - all three contributors are Sun employees, and their site clearly says: "The architecture supports several pluggable back-end services including Sun's Identity Manager, Sun's Access Manager and LDAPv3."...but theoretically, this could plug into any provisioning solution, or am I being too optimistic?
