It costs negligible to zero for you to just leave these features well enough alone, but it always costs money and efforts to migrate away. > These options have been deprecated since 2000, so you've had literally 20 > years to migrate away from them. If you are locked in OpenLDAP. But people use them because they are "lowest common denominator", supported by virtually any ldaptools suite. If you discard these options, you become (very?) special. The most balanced approach is to remove *being used* features only when they come into conflict with new features or enhancements. Not just because "there is another way".
