Why is there no simple way to add new schema's to cn=Config? As in, something like "slapadd --schema newschema.schema".

The best explanation I found on how to add a new schema is http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/slapd-config.html#use-schemas. You have to create a conf file, a new directory, run a command, edit a file, and then run another command. That's a lot of places where user error could break things.

So, is there a utility in the works, or are there other reasons this would be a bad idea? I'm curious.

I did search Google, the tickets, and the mailing lists. But either there isn't anything there, or my search terms were bad. If this has already be discussed, I apologize for bringing it up again, and would appreciate a link to the discussion.
