That is a very nice proposal, it would sort of give us the good things 
of both worlds.

IMHO schema is the only thing where cn=config makes life harder than 
slapd.conf.

Being a long time lurker on this list it is fun to see that although 
same subjects like config alternatives,  turn up again and again, the 
arguments and solution proposals at least sometimes do progress.
