This was just discussed on -technical as well. You can delete individual schema elements using ldapmodify. You cannot delete entire cn=config entries (using ldapdelete). There are no plans to change this behavior for schema in the future.
Using ldapmodify for individual entries is painful in the extreme, since each entry only has a single attribute...basically a monster string with all the schema constraints in it.
What are you talking about? A schema entry under cn=config has individual attribute values per schema element. Editing individual schema elements is far more useful than deleting the entire schema and reloading it.
