This probably won't happen because there are so many RFC2307(bis) deployments
out there which cannot easily be migrated.

Also I have my own schema built on top of RFC2307bis (not published yet) which
differs much from DBIS for very good reasons. I aim to present it at LDAPcon
2015 in Edinburgh (in case the program comittee agrees). A preview version of
that is already in production for almost a year in a large data center.

So my suggestion would be to brush up RFC2307bis as much as possible (taking
care of Kurt's IANA comments) so that you can base DBIS on that, as I will
base my system on top of that.

How does that sound to you?

Ciao, Michael.
