i understand that ldap is a protocol but it occurred to me that a database change (where tables and the like might be different and slapd version dependent) might need to be a sitewide thing, not a server by server thing (meaning the 2.4 servers, once the "database" is mirrored from the master server, might not understand the new format?).
The only limitation would be that you could not mdb_copy a 2.5 database and run that under a 2.4 slapd. Since it's purely internal, the replication protocol has no "knowledge" of it, and it would not appear in an LDIF created by slapcat.
