I think maybe I'll write some wrapper to net_ldap3's modify_entry function. Some static value plus a timer should help triggering only one event every x seconds regardless of the change count. This way it'll hit all kind of sources.

I don't like busy waiting. I try to avoid it wherever possible. 

Bummer: I realised even kolabd does use busy waiting and doesn't get triggered via events. :-(

That's indeed a good point. Maybe it's possible to create some kind of a "common plugin interface" which gets accepted upstream. ;-)

(... I don't think so; my spare time is quite limited at the moment)
