The above statement is simply not true.  The difference here is the fact 
that the ppolicy binary has direct references to the schema in its code, 
which requires it to have matching schema prior to slapd being able to 
start.  You can still start slapd when any schema (outside of the few items 
hard coded in schema_prep for the same reason) is different.  You have the 
ability at that point to modify slapd via online operations post-upgrade.
