I think this is the rule for the IPA provider, but I don't see why it
should be this way in responders if we can update the domain info. I'll
file a ticket.
I would say it is a general precaution. Switching the view on-the-fly
might change UIDs and GIDs mappings of running processes and logged-in
users on-the-fly. All kind of strange things might happen then, e.g.
calling 'whoami' might return a different user name, if in the new view
the UID of the running user belongs to a different user.
