So there's been a lot of interest around having Cobbler read LDAP

/write/ to LDAP. I know several
folks already have their own scripts to interface between the two.
I'm thinking about abstracting the serializer code to allow for
configs in arbitrary formats....
It's done (and available for preview now in git):

There's a example idea on the Wiki page above about how you could still
use Cobbler to store to disk, but get /some/ information from LDAP ...
I'll leave it up to users
to find creative ways to use this.
I ended up /not/ writing the SQL portions (yet) as that would be a lot
to maintain and it seems things like LDAP would be more useful. If
extremely large numbers of profiles/nodes run us into performance issues
(so far they haven't) there are probably better ways to speed up things
than that initially.
