Maybe we could change the name in 2.4 with the proposed names as the
primary keeping the old one as an alternative? Don't remember if slapcat
would translate them accordingly. If it does, we could just drop the old
name in 2.5 (and have everyone slapcat cn=config with OpenLDAP >= 2.4.48
or wherever this lands).

Or just do the above in 2.5 only.
