Sebb commented on WHIMSY-208:
-----------------------------
Workround 1
-----------------
Instead of attempting to delete the last member, replace the entry with a
special dummy entry.
This would only affect empty member lists.
When adding a new member, the dummy entry would need to be replaced.
Since all Whimsy LDAP access uses common library routines, it should be
possible to remove the entry from retrievals so other code is unaffected. The
public JSON data would be unchanged.
3rd party scripts and code might need to be adjusted if they do not use the
JSON data.

> The groupOfNames LDAP class cannot have an empty member list.
> The affects ou=projects and some other groups.
> Whilst the need to have an empty group should be rare, I don't think it is
> impossible.
> So it may be worth looking at work-rounds.
