It seems there was a misunderstanding, probably my wording wasn't clear enough:
The issue is that many LDAP *clients* are hard-coded to the RFC2307 or
RFC2307bis schema. The server's data can be IMHO way more easily migrated than
legacy client systems.

Ok, I see.

Unfortunately, no.

had this discussion before: IMO netgroups must die, die, die...

Ciao, Michael.
