I found the doc examples using the LDIF format quite useful when
transitioning from the *.conf format to the config format, regardless of
the ability to take a slapd.conf and translate it to LDIF. People who are
starting fresh may never need/desire to have a *.conf file.
Along those lines ... we've set a policy that all new code (backends,
overlays) must support cn=config. I think it makes sense to use the same
policy for all newly written documentation. slapd.conf is obsolete.
