In some situations having a "primary" master would be very useful (e.g. where to
assign numeric IDs).

The providers connected with MMR could try to vote a primary master with the
raft algorithm: https://raft.github.io/

Ideally it should be visible in cn=monitor whether a provider replica is the
current primary master.

Let's discuss this at LDAPcon dinner this evening... ;-)

Concept needs review.

Could it be tied in with the load balancer work?
