feature-freeze exception justification:

 1. proposed changes:
  -> have nis recommend the nscd package

 2. rational/benefits:
  -> ensure enterprise users with NIS, experience good performance through processes not getting frequently blocked (also causing context switches) for short periods (the order of 5-15ms, and causing unnecessary network and NIS server load
 (ie why perform expensive I/O, when the result is available in a shared memory segment?)

 3. risks:
  -> minimal packaging-only change
  -> affecting non-home/personal users
