He just wants to move his application specific schema which many just be using a few elements. This is not at all so monumental a task. Most likely the matchingRules and syntaxes already exist and it's just a matter of creating the objectClasses and attributeTypes which can be done immediately. We have everything in place even to do this dynamically by adding these schema elements even without stopping the server. I have to write more user level information about the dynamic schema subsystem. I should have done this after writing it and we're paying for that since not many people know what this thing can do.
