Especially if the latter, it would be very interesting if you could provide even a hint about envisioned schedule - what's happening with F11/F12, RHEL5.x, and with RHEL6?

Personally I lean toward keeping things as they are in existing
releases, as nss-ldapd isn't quite a 100% direct replacement for
nss_ldap, and switching over to using nss-ldapd in preference over
nss_ldap for F12.

Though I expect it'll be possible to have both installed at the same
time, us not screwing with the sonames means that unless environment
variables which affect the run-time linker are in play, applications
will always only try to use nss-ldapd if both are installed.
