Because it's now hard-coded into slapd (schema_prep.c), and the old
core.schema definition would conflict with it.

Come to think of it, maybe slapd should accept schema redefinitions that
are identical to an existing definition?  Then hard-coded definitions
could be left in in place in the schema files, and new slapds would not
conflict with old schemas.  Except, I'm not quite sure if it's a feature
or a misfeature that one must update core.schema when slapd is
updated...
