Michael: I cannot tell if you're being sarcastic or not, so, I'm running with your words:
Software isn't developed in a vacuum - when truly useful, it's intended use it to be used and it cannot be used sans distros (in any realistic production operation; sure you can compile everything from source and create StroderOS). While you may be blessed with using whatever software, from whatever source you desire, with any (or no) support available, many system administrators are under edicts and must work within the policies and instructions of their company.
SOX is a big deal at any organization that is publicly traded or works with government entities.
The support model of essentially "it's not the latest; go away until you update (compile it)" isn't helpful.
As for the request that started this thread; he was after information (on how to get performance related information), not 'please tell me what is broken in my environment': "Is there a way to log the time each operation took?" ... "The point is to find which search operations a taking long time to develop a solution." Which generated only one (useful) response: Quanah: "I would highly advise upgrading to a current release (2.4.36) and switching to back-mdb."
If the information Casper requested isn't available, say so. If it is, how would he get it?
Either way "upgrade to the latest" doesn’t address his actual question(s).
Continuous improvement is an excellent goal, but I don't see how answering questions on "not very recent" versions is a bad thing.

PS: Just my 2 cents.

The reason is that openldap's PATCH component includes new features (that by itself introduces new bugs) rather than only FIXES to existing features. This breaks disto's policy and this is the point.
Distribution policy does not matter here. What matters is continous improvement of OpenLDAP itself.
Ciao, Michael.
