Why are perfectly good functions like ldap_add() and
ldap_unbind() deprecated in favour of the _ext() functions?
I don't want to have to pass two extra NULL parameters all
over the place for controls I never use.


Additionally one has to change passing/retrieving the msgid.

python-ldap build breaks if ldap_add() etc. is no longer supported. I guess some other wrapper libs and much code floating around also will not compile anymore. This will cause a lot of traffic on the mailing lists, I guess.

Ciao, Michael.
