Those people are wasting their life away. Do we distribute schema's for use
on SQL databases? No. We create our own tables.. I see no harm.

I always try to adhere to an existing attribute, but who gives a shit? If
it's my LDAP directory, storying my propiertary information, I'll organize
it any damn way I please. :) I'm not going to adapt some crazy attribute
name ("Gee, well, that's sorta kinda what I'm trying to store....") simply
to save the "expense" of creating another one.

And, if it's "schema _CHECKS_" that people want, install a new schema file
for each application you are administrating. (I.e., when turba settles down
I imagine we'd see a registered OID scheme come out for it-- if it hasn't
already.)
