Sure. But if nobody uses it, there are no casualties only winners.

Note though that I do not actually suggest we remove it at this point. As a
starter, I'm trying to learn if there are anyone who cares.

(So far not a single person has said they do.)

There are some recently reported and still undisclosed problems with the
ldap.c code and the general (non-OpenLDAP) LDAP API that I'm wrestling with
and I try to assess the impact and size of these problems. It might affect how
we decide to act.
