I remember slapmodify (or the companion LDIF api?) is buggy and had the distinct impression that this is well known. I may have been thinking of contrib:ucn rather than contrib:vc. <grepping...> a note from hyc @ irc: "ITSs against it [usn] should be discarded since we already know it's not meant to be used". WTF... Anyway, why can't slapmodify, <libldif replacement>, vc be finished and go in RE24? contrib/ stuff does not get in the way, but companion libldap/slapd differences beween master and RE24 do. They get in the way of testing, cherry-picking etc.
