I would agree with you all but also caution against breaking production
systems, as I tried taking some evil attributes out of LDAP and broke FTS
in the process,
This will require a top down push to remove rubbish from ldap attributes
as fixing one component will break another and so the fixes will never
be accepted unless all fixes are done with a central coordinating push.
You cant blame FTS, D-Cache or DPM in the area of file management as all
need to be changed at the same time or we need a parallel system
running.
