Zimbra team asked us if their Zimbra system would use of our Oracle's directory systems in which we give support only to these directory products. Otherwise they would operate their new MMR-capable OpenLDAP systems on their own.
It also sounds like you don't fully understand how to properly deploy Zimbra, as one of its deployment points is that you can deploy its internal LDAP instances into their own cluster used by the rest of the Zimbra system.
Yes they are able to deploy that clustered MMR OpenLDAP system out of internal OpenLDAP servers on each Zimbra installation.
Generally there is not going to be discussion on this list on how to migrate off of OpenLDAP.
Sounds like doing such migration is not going to be easy ;)
You're better off migrating from ODSEE directly to OpenLDAP. In OpenLDAP 2.5 we already have replication support for consuming data from an ODSEE master.
OUD is quite a resource hog...
