No disagreement there...

I wonder, with the recent interesting results from performance
comparisons between PostgreSQL and some of the key/value stores
(e.g. - where PostgreSQL has ways to "win"), what the performance
behaviour is, these days, for OpenLDAP backed by PostgreSQL.  

It's not actually terribly difficult to set that up (as long as you're
not trying to use the "map some LDAP queries into relational ones"
functionality of slapd-sql, which makes me want to poke out my eyes).

At any rate, would be kinda cool to see numbers...
