Profile fields should not be a problem (I recently wrote a plugin that
converts all the xProfile fields data to user metadata, with one click).

What about groups... I think (I'm almost sure) I can use some custom
taxonomy to replace that. But I need more details, now I'm just
guessing.

I know I bugged this list last year about profiles/.org, so If the
core/.org team thinks it's not a top priority project this year, I will
stop asking about it and focus on something else.
