The situation with LDAP today is that if you use it seriously (e.g. in
a Windows environment with ActiveDirectory and Microsoft's bastardized
Kerberos), you end up with parts of the base system having build-time
dependencies on OpenLDAP.  In my eyes, that is a very strong argument
in favor of absorbing OpenLDAP into the base system.
