I wouldn't even dare asking :-) ... I think this topic has come up
many times on their mailing lists anyway.
I'm sure they have good arguments but I can also think of a hundred

would also apply to many other sites. But
then, I'll shut up until I can contribute more mature MySQL support code for
OpenLDAP :-)
