LDAPv2 is generally considered historic (and its technical
  specification will likely be officially moved to Historic
  status).
OpenLDAP 2 does not truely implement LDAPv2 (RFC1777) in
  a manner consistent who those (few) clients which do.
Developers (those folks on this list) should be using
LDAPv3-only so that clients which are LDAPv2-only can be
identified and updated.

There are no plans (yet) to "release" this change for
"general use".
