Well, as I said, it's been in the code, behind an #ifdef, for quite a
while. I think it lacks a specification, and there are quite a few
places where it's not being handled, mostly because the specification is
missing.

I've used it, for instance, in a custom overlay to migrate entries
between distributed DSAs that are presented as a unique system by a
"smart" proxy, to allow cross-tree renaming preserving entryUUID,
createTimestamp and creatorsName. But then we're using HEAD code most
of the time, and I expect it to be released when we get to production...
