Because slapd.conf is deprecated and going away in openldap 2.5. So I'd
like to get familiar with it now before this happens :)
I understood that this was not the case, but I can be wrong. And if yes
I hope this decision could be reversed, but I'm not a developer so I can
just state my uneasiness about such a choice.
As I already said I'm just an old style Unix admin, and as such I don't
like at all to be forced to use any kind of program different from just
an editor to do a service configuration.
Having text configuration files (that can be commented and put under a
revision system) is a major strength for an Unix system, and giving it
away is very bad. I can afford a restart or a reload in any of the tens
of installation I have, but reworking the method we have to take trace
of configuration changes made in production servers will be a real pain.
I support the choice to make possible configuration change without
restarting the service, what I do not support is the choice to remove
the use of textual configuration files.
