Well, this entire thing might just be that no all people interested in the LDAP backend are actively following the mailing list (like myself :-) However, we are using the LDAP backend as well for our couple of PowerDNS servers and would suffer much from dropping LDAP support. On the other hand, I perfectly understand Bert's POV on the issue, so I what I can offer is taking a look on the open issues and maybe - if time allows - putting some manpower to it, but I will first have a look at the issues myself.
