Those Fedora guys are still hawking the myth that multimaster replication 
means high write performance. To keep perpetuating that lie just says they're 
totally destitute of moral integrity. (Not that I'm biased or anything ;)

And they still claim zero-downtime dynamic configuration, yet you still need 
to restart their server whenever you change the SLAPI plugin configuration. So 
much for truth in advertising.

And OpenLDAP beats all of their scalability claims by at least an order of 
magnitude on equivalent hardware.

RedHat is just beating a dead horse. Pretty soon it's not even going to twitch 
any more.
