I don't think switching from the native Solaris LDAP to the OpenLDAP
library is either obvious or non-controversial.  My read of 2008/507
suggests that OpenLDAP was intended to allow others to use the library
if wanted (and despite the compatibility risks it poses), and not as a
way for us to deliver software.

Are you sure this is indeed a fast-track?
