It's quite poor etiquette to respond to a thread without reading it from the beginning. This ticket already makes the advantage clear.

I certainly read the thread before responding. But I admit I should make this clear to facilitate the discussion.

The only advantage I could assume from 2018-year thread is the ability to "Not to fix" the bug originally called [ldapsearch - unexpected behavior with "-h URI -p PORT"].

If this is what you mean as "advantage" then I could say that even simple WONTFIX would be better, because it, at least, does not harm current ldaptools users.
