RE: Adding to the LDAP ACM to a WG charter

I want to be clear. I am not suggesting that, in order to allow
multi-vendor replicas, a standard ACM isn't required.

The only question is whether they need to be developed by the same WG,
other whether _this_ WG should focus on what has proven to be a very
difficult problem, and finish it; or whether it should undertake another
very difficult problem that may very well defocus it and delay finishing
the primary one it was set up to solve.

This is not a question of requirements -- it is a question of creating
an efficient engineering process to get things done. I believe that
history has shown conclusively that trying to solve too many hard
problems simultaneously leads to none of them getting done.
