Please note that there are some significant technical consequences to this (depending upon the exact nature of the changes) - for example adding that to an ou that was a child ou of the incubator )whcih it probably should be) will cause some of the services that query ldap tp incorrectly classify them, and perhaps there misuse them etc. 

It's not all doom and gloom. I'd rather see effort into getting other data into LDAP first - as this has been around for a long time, and the PPMC additions seems like such a small win for such a huge effort investment, right now.  One day it will all be in LDAP.
