Hm, I may not understand some facets of how the ldap patch works then.

We took on the LDAP patch mostly to be a locus where patches could be
sent and kept, rather than fragmenting the work among the community.
But the plan is also to understand it more ourselves, improve it, and
understand the problem space.

Once you have (2) lease/config/etc databases, you really want (N), and
a way for anyone to plug any database in.

So it's a learning process towards SQL's, BDB's, deeper integration
scripty things or XML or whatnot that we're doing in BIND 10, and
BIND 10's DHCP services.
