It's information that many would find important.

It's a delicate balance between information scarcity, and information 
overload.

Cone is "mature".  No major, new things, are on the short-term horizon.  I 
certainly intend to keep the code working, and functional, as necessary.  
Just recently the LDAP support code has been refreshed, eliminating obsolete 
LDAP api calls with their replacements.  If I didn't, at some point in the 
near future you wouldn't be able to compile Cone with LDAP support.  "Update 
LDAP code to OpenLDAP 2.3" looks deceptively small, in the ChangeLog.
