I think cn=config is a major enhancement to OpenLDAP, and I would love to
be able to use it. At the moment, however, as far as funding priorities
for Stanford, other things come first. However, there are many other
institutions out there using OpenLDAP right now who also could benefit
from cn=config, and certainly from the interest on the list, know they
could benefit from it. I would love to see some of these other groups
step up and join in with contributing to the development of OpenLDAP,
whether it is time from their staff or money to fund the work via one of
the primary developers. Not only will they enjoy the benefit of having
those additional features (as will everyone else), they will then be
contributing to the ongoing life and growth of the project.
