There really ought to be tested migration scripts or at least instructions
supplied.  On a test server machine, I'm playing along with docs snippets

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/rawhide/system-administrators-guide/servers/Directory_Servers/

and finding contradictions ("avoid editing LDIF files within
/etc/openldap/slapd.d" then edit "/etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif")
and migrationtools scripts are failing this way and that.

Could the Change proponents commit to producing transition instructions
for servers & clients?
