Sure. But if nobody uses it, there are no casualties only winners.
Note though that I do not actually suggest we remove it at this point.
As a starter, I'm trying to learn if there are anyone who cares.
(So far not a single person has said they do.)
Yes: I would like to read some comments from the W$ community, as is it
quite large and targeted by this module: cygwin builds do use openldap,
but W$-native (mingw, vs) do not.
On the other hand, people using curl do not always know how it is built.
This is an idea for a specific question in next curl survey ...
There are some recently reported and still undisclosed problems with
the ldap.c code and the general (non-OpenLDAP) LDAP API that I'm
wrestling with and I try to assess the impact and size of these
problems. It might affect how we decide to act.
If I can help, don't hesitate to ask!
