Included the latest landing plan update with
addressbookre-factoringforLDAP...

the idea about the doc is to provide a better way to improve communication
about the status of all landings and the dependencies between code that's
getting checked in and turned on, not just the big hairy, scary, landings...

This idea of the centralized landing plan document
might go down in flames like many of the previous attempts to do better
communication and testing before code lands or is turned on in
the release builds; or it might have a shot at working...
