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.

I've looked into your drafts. But it differs very much from what I'm after. We
had this discussion before: IMO netgroups must die, die, die...

Ciao, Michael.
