No way.

1. not able to use freely in commercial setting
2. heavy.

I think using a small lightweight, open source as the reference database
is a good thing, with support for better, more scalable databases/backends

because that is really where the world is moving.  Having LDAP support in
KDE would be a great selling point.  Trust me).
