Hash username or mac address to assign user to different vlan

It seems like a lot of people are suddenly wanting to do this.

Can any of you explain why, and why now? Just curious. It seems odd that 
so many people want to do it, all at the same time.

Did an article appear online or in a magazine or something ;o)
