As long as people are requesting new features appearing in 
OpenLDAP all the time but refuse to test thoroughly CVS versions 
on different platforms with different (build) configuration this 
piece of software won't make any significant progress to a 
non-beta release.

1. This does not say anything about software quality.

2. If you have full control without many users you can do almost 
everything you want. But people will blame me if their old code 
using python-ldap does not work anymore. Well, you did...

The message is:
python-ldap is community work. Progress is reached by at least 
testing it. And yes, despite the impression some of you might have 
my spare time is tight either.
