Yes, if you somehow are able to restrict the applications
which rely on the single-master properties when updating some
fragment of the DIT to a particular master in a multi-master system,
then you have, in effect, a single-master system (in respect to
these applications).

My primary concern with the MMR extensions for LDAP proposed so
far is that they simply were not truly optional [RFC2119].  It
certainly is possible (some would say trivial) to design an truly
optional MMR extension to LDAP.
