Woah - no need to take anything personal.
We're not all devs. SysAdmin != Code Dev. His memory /could/ be off - that's why he didn't state it as a fact. And there's certainly more civil ways to suggest one checkout code from a deprecated branch.
If feedback isn't desired, simply state so on the mailing list site. Francis even seems like an informed /user/ of the openldap software.
Francis: I suggest you simply do a slapcat and then a sed replacement on the output to get what you need.
It won't help with cn=config; that'd really have to be done by hand, but I don't think it'd be too difficult.
My 2 cents, - chris

Do all of the overlays support cn=config yet? Last I remember, there were still overlays that didn't work with cn=config.
If your memory is correct, you're welcome to submit patches.
I would rather that cn=config was working with everything for one entire release before slapd.conf is removed to give those of us that depend on those overlays a chance to migrate -- rather than a repeat of the forced conversion to syncrepl before it was completely baked (which I for one do not think has completely happened even now in 2.4.22).
All of the core overlays support cn=config.
You can always pull slurpd from CVS if you enjoy that sort of thing, no one put a gun to your head to force you in any direction.
