But that's just your personal goal which is leaving systems in
production unpatched until you feel you're done. IMO that's totally wrong.

No, it's the project goal to switch the focus to getting OpenLDAP 2.5 released. At some point, work on 2.4 needs to stop. Unless you'd like to see 2.5 dragged out another decade?

Of course such a simple assumption is bullshit. To me the list of
outstanding unfixed/unreleased issues matters most.

Which ties into the above and why 2.4 needs to be sunsetted.
