As I understand it MIT felt that the way Sun had done it would make it difficult to maintain the code in the long run. I believe there was also an incremental prop solution offered by Apple, but it got bogged down in Legal/Licensing issues. (Could be mis-remembering either/both of these statements.)
I don't think that trusting an LDAP back end for incremental prop is intended to be their long-term solution to the problem, but there has been mention of it being *A* possible solution, at least near-term.
