Is Openldap(client library, not > server), nss_ldap/pam_ldap support in base OS worth more attention? I think that importing the whole OpenLDAP client into base system as-is is useful, but that might be painful, because the development pace of OpenLDAP is fast and people do want bugfixes, etc. from newer OpenLDAP releases, so we should work carefully to avoid conflict between base OpenLDAP and port OpenLDAP. So I think we may want what we did for libbsdxml (expat) if we really wanted to import the stuff into base syste= m.
