From my point of view, these are not good news. In the future, in our schools we're not going to switch back to use bind9 and will keep the current setup with pdns. Having all the infraestructure and information stored in ldap is very safe when you have several thousands of ltsp servers and don't want to manually modify configuration files whenever a new server is placed or moved. More things are in ldap, less things we have to touch. #602863 is not important for us. Our servers still remain in lenny and our plans to move to squeeze (or wheeze) include the development of a lwat replacement. We need to develop it to fit our needs as we have to create accounts massively every beginning of the course using as source an external application where our ministry manages all the educational data for every citizen. So, neither gosa, cipux or lwat can fulfill our needs, and a custom development is the only solution I can see. So, as we all use Debian and can touch everything, don't take this as a negative vote. We can do all the changes we need to adjust the installation to our setup. Currently we change some things, and in the future more changes will be needed, including removal of the debian-edu-config package. Fortunately, our release cycle for the school servers setup is more than two years, so we have time to adapt our setups.
