My memory is that this topic (taxonomy) has been part of the LDAPEXT charter
since
the beginning, so to remove it means changing the charter.

As to the history, there was an LSD working group (now defunct) that had
server-finding drafts (both client and server).  Those drafts expired
when that WG was closed.

This taxonomy draft traces its ancestry from the clients finding servers
draft I
originally wrote for LSD.

I'm not disagreeing with you.  I'm just stating some of the history and
background.
