Was there actually any debate over the problems with disabling transaction
logging on db4.3 which led to extremely slow performance with slapadd? I
thought everyone agreed on that.
That's the largest and most noticable issue. Quanah's reported other
problems as well in edge cases. It's a moot point at this point since
db4.4 is out and (suitably patched) will work fine for OpenLDAP.
