Was Simo's message personal or did I miss a posting by him to the ietf-ldapext

@Simo: I know that FreeIPA/sssd has a custom schema. Is there a formal
description of the schema so we can look at what cure you're implementing for
the netgroups "disease"?

Personally I also avoid netgroups (or I don't have a real use-case for them
for now).
