It can be important, I haven't checked yet.

These are the exact number of existing installations that are going to break 
when going from server.xml to config.ldif.
1.5.x and 2.x installation will never be upgradable out of the box.
Since we breaking things, let's be consistent and try to gather all the 
configuration in a single location.

Software is about change. We would never go beyond the 1.0 mark if everything 
was set in stone forever.

Pierre-Arnaud
