I did not test the patch yet, I just want to comment on one thing I just noticed.

I is it a good idea to remove idnsZoneRefresh and idnsPersistentSearch
attribute types and modify idnsConfigObject objectclass?

This will affect not only new instances, but also the old ones (i.e. RHEL-6.4)
which may still use these attributes. DNS config object would suddenly become
unusable because DS would refuse to operate the entry as it does not follow the
schema. The same applies for ACIs.

I would personally not do these changes yet, I think just hiding and marking as
DeprecatedParam is enough for now. Alexander, what do you think?
