[Fedora-directory-users] features

[Jeff Clowser]

Note that there are a lot of issues with replicating data between 
dissimilar ldap implementations, and always will be until things like 
access control is standardized.  Even if I could replicate my data to 
openldap, it would not honor the fds aci's, which would result in 
unexpected/unwanted results.
