Hello anyone ;)
I came across this where the state of the rwm overlay was being discussed. There seemed to be some indication that the state of both slapd-relay and slapo-rwm "should" no longer be listed as experimental:
http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Documentation?id=4844
yet here we are 4 years later and both man pages still have the experimental flag. In the above ticket there was some concern that the configs were not yet available in cn=config and that is what was holding things up.
As far as I can tell they seem to work fine in cn=config and one of they replies to the ticket mentioned that work was done in that regard, but I have to wonder why the expermential flag is still present. Is there still some concern? perhaps related to the following?:

We are trying to roll out a new LDAP service and replacing our Sun Directory Server software suite. I do intend to perform testing against this arch, but I'm also not 100% sure what kinds of test I should be performing to ensure the rwm and relay are working correctly.
I vaguely recall there are other issues with the RWM overlay but can't look at the moment. slapd-relay is fine as things go, but it's obviously useless without a solid RWM overlay.
Thanks again for any insight Jeffrey Crawford

Hello,
I'm sorry if this is answered somewhere already but I haven't found it.
In short we need to re-map some attributes for specific replication schenerios where the replica actually records the data that we've mapped on the master server.
Everything works as needed however I did notice that both relay and rwm have been tagged as experimental. This would be used in a production environment so I'm trying to get a sense if I can offer to use these features in our architechture. Or if these backends/overlays are not considered safe to use.
I'm using openldap 2.4.26
Thanks Jeffrey
