[Fedora-directory-users] OID conflict: ntGroupType vs. mailRoutingAddress

I'm attempting to add a mail-routing draft schema 
(draft-lachman-laser-ldap-mail-routing-02.txt) to FDS.
The schema can be found here (among other places):
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/laser.txt

In an unusual and unfortunate coincidence, the mailRoutingAddress OID 
defined by the schema is the same as the OID for 'ntGroupType', which is 
defined in FDS' 50ns-directory.ldif schema.

 From 50ns-directory.ldif:
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.47
  NAME 'ntGroupType'
  DESC 'Netscape defined attribute type'
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
  SINGLE-VALUE
  X-ORIGIN 'Netscape NT Synchronization'
)

 From draft-lachman-laser-ldap-mail-routing-02.txt:
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.47

  NAME 'mailRoutingAddress'
  DESC 'RFC 822 address to use when routing messages to
        the SMTP MTA of this recipient'
  EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
  SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256}'
  SINGLE-VALUE
)


The most obvious solution is to change the OID of one of these.  But 
which one should be changed, and to what?
There's probably not really a single right answer, but if anyone else 
has happened to run into this, I'd be interested to hear how you 
resolved it.
Thanks a lot,
