The Feodra team has posted a set of 28 features for the upcoming Fedora 7 release, of which the biggest is this: "Starting with Fedora 7, there is no more Core, and no more Extras; there is only Fedora. One single repository, built in the community on open source tools, assembled into whatever spins the Fedora community desires."

Fedora DS does look pretty good. I think they got rid of that horrible ldbm backend. But watch out for MM replication. MM is not generally needed (directories are used for heavy-read scenarios, RDBMS for read/write scenarios), and MM can easily break ACID (you change an attribute of one object at one master, I delete the object at another master - what happens?).
I'd actually just prefer some really good GUI admin tools for OpenLDAP, to farm out tasks to junior LDAP admins.
