Sorry, that's LDAP-speak.  Paged Results is an LDAPv3 Control that is 
added to the LDAP Search Request.  Controls can be marked as Critical or 
not.  If a control is marked as Critical, the server will return an 
error if unsupported, otherwise the server will ignore it.

If you want to file a bugzilla requesting that Fedora DS should support 
the Paged Results control, please do.
