To be honest I've already read this changelog: It is true that the list 
of syncrepl/syncprov fixes is rather long and that a full upgrade to 2.4 
is certainly recommended.
Though, such an upgrade is not always easy to do in a production 
environment: we have to prepare it carefully.
Moreover, I'm not always able to understand the implications of each 
fix. That's why I sent this email to the list with the aim to verify 
that our structure is supported (at least by openldap 2.4).

Regards,
Thibault
