(1) Historically, upgrading existing OpenLDAP databases to new formats
    has always been a PITA;

(2) The 2.4 branch is still unstable; historically, previous branches
    haven't become (somewhat) usable until about minor version 20; and
    guess what: the new branch is not exactly less complex than the
    older ones;

(3) Historically, none of the new brances have been backward compatible;
    many applications don't support 2.6 yet.
