...looking further, there's no more separate libldap_r (which is used by various ports which depend on openldap-client, so at the very least they will need some changes and tests). also there's no more bdb/hdb in the server, so people using those backends will need to dump/restore - that's not a huge problem in itself as it will need to be done sometime anyway, *but* I feel that as a result we are not going to get really meaningful testing on the server in the time we'll have available before release. so I think this is too late to push in now. (btw, had it not been for the openssl-related changes to openldap, I would have moved this port across to 2.5 a couple of months ago).
