10 Before this package goes stable, I'd like to suggest that backwardly
11 compatible libraries be provided so that applications aren't horribly
12 broken by this upgrade (similar to how we've done for openssl in the past).

14 On two different test systems, this upgrade caused broken dynamic library
15 dependencies in over 35 packages on each system. I'm going to hazard a
16 guess that a majority of systems that have openldap installed have more
17 than one or two packages depending on openldap (and probably aren't
18 dedicated LDAP servers). For those folks who use LDAP for various thing,
19 I could see this as being a very big gotcha.
