I tend to be unconfortable with running with such custom code, because
it can be troublesome to maintain through OpenLDAP updates, if the API
used by the overlay changes.
Is there a set of stable API that an overlay can use without the fear to
break on the next update?
I suppose you could always use SLAPI instead of native overlays. But that's
the tradeoff - the stable API is also pretty limited compared to the native API.
