(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.
