In Fedora DS, I was able to get a patch accepted to trim the 00core schema down to the really, really core stuff. I'm unsure if the same would even be possible with OpenLDAP, given the way schema is loaded (by listing each file)?
I don't want to enter too much into details, but, to avoid breaking existing configurations that only include core.schema, nothing would prevent from defining the files
really_core.schema not_so_core.schemaand have a core.schema file consisting in
include really_core.schema include not_so_core.schema
The all you'd need to do would be to only load the relevant portion of the split.
However, I believe this is a moot point, since I expect most of the users to move to using back-config, which means that core.schema will no longer need to be around except for configuration initialization.
Note that we also have a converted core.schema in core.ldif, and the same split could be applied there if desired.
