In all fairness, NSLCD might make sense for users who need support for
NSS maps SSSD does not provide (such as networks or hosts) or users who
need huge performance for maps for which SSSD doesn't support the
fastcache.

In those cases, you can configure SSSD for passwd and groups and NSLCD
for those SSSD isn't a good fit in your use-case.
