I will quote from my mandatory replica announcement mail
(http://www.imc.org/ietf-ldup/mail-archive/msg01209.html) where
we ask at least 2 points where the core specification may need a
change:

| 1. In Section 4.5, do we need the ability to copy (i.e. read and set) all
| operational attributes as part of this operation? If so, LDAP will need
| a change.
| 
| 2. Section 4.6 currently requires that all replicaSubentries representing
the
| same server have the same entryUUID.  How is this accomplished?

I suspect that as we get deeper into MRM, we will turn up additional
places where the core specification may need changing, so I can't see
the core specification being "immutable".
